The Monitoring Authority of Charter Schools is dependent upon the chartering authority.
The monitoring authority is responsible for:
- Verifying and finalizing determinations prior to their submission to the Commission;
- Outreach, and technical assistance to the LEAs it presides over
- Assuring that each employee of the school district in a position requiring certification qualifications has a valid certificated document registered as required by law authorizing him or her to serve in the position to which he or she is assigned (Education Code§35035(g)).
- Submitting the final Assignment Monitoring report to the Commission.
Nonetheless, Education Code§44258.9(e)(8) specifically provides that Districts may request technical assistance in determining potential misassignments and vacant positions from the county office of education in the county in which the chartering authority is located. Therefore, Counties will be able to view district authorized charter exceptions in their "scope", through they will not be able to make any changes to them.
