Charter SELPA Application Process

Welcome to El Dorado County Charter SELPA Application Process

Introduction

It is the intent of the El Dorado County SELPA to provide options for Charter Schools in terms of SELPA membership.  While it is always preferable for a Charter School to participate with their geographic SELPA, this Charter SELPA has been developed to allow for a viable alternative for SELPA membership.  Therefore, there are specific criteria which must be met in order for a Charter School to be considered for membership in the El Dorado Charter SELPA.

First priority will be given to new Charter Schools sponsored by the State Board of Education.  The Charters that are sponsored by the State Board of Education are chartered as Local Education Agencies (LEAs) and are not automatically a member in a SELPA.  Because of their LEA status the charters must apply for membership in a SELPA and some charter schools have been unable to reach agreement with the district or SELPA in obtaining this status.

Please review each of the following general information links before submitting a Notice of Intent or Application for Membership in the El Dorado County Charter SELPA.  A Notice of Intent simply alerts us to your interest in possible membership.   Submitting an Application will start the process towards membership.  If you have additional questions, please feel free to email them to charterselpa@edcoe.org.
