Staff reports will be posted 15 days before the San Diego County Board of Education action meeting, at 3 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. Please direct questions to charters@sdcoe.net.

Please note, individuals requesting transcripts and school records should contact the school of attendance from which the records are needed. Please reference the California Department of Education's school directory to search for your school's contact information.

Q: What if my charter school has closed?

A: Each school should have a designated person from the charter school that could be contacted after closure. In some cases, the charter's authorizing district may have received copies of the student records from the closed charter school. This would typically be designated during the school's closing procedures.

Education Code Section 47604.33 requires charter schools to submit a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) to their chartering agencies and the county superintendent of schools on or before July 1 of each year.

Beginning in 2022, all charter schools operating in San Diego County will upload their board-approved LCAP as a single PDF document to SDCOE Charter School Services on or before July 1. The form link was emailed out the San Diego County charter schools and districts in April and May 2022.

For the 2022-23 charter school LCAP submissions, the single PDF document must contain the following information:

• LCFF Budget Overview for Parents
• 2022-23 LCAP
• Supplement to the Annual Update of the 2021-22 LCAP
• Plan Summary
• Engaging Educational Partners
• Goals and Actions
• Increased or Improved Services for Foster Youth, English Learners, and Low-Income Students
• Action Tables

Please note, for San Diego County charter schools the online submission replaces the previous submission to finrep@sdcoe.net. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding the submission of a charter school LCAP please contact charters@sdcoe.net.
