California Charter Association Sues LAUSD For Limiting Sharing of Campuses

The group says the new district policy is biased because it denies charter school students “reasonably equivalent” facilities.

The California Charter Schools Association filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles Unified School District over its new policy limiting charter schools’ ability to share campuses with district schools at nearly 350 school sites across the district.

The lawsuit, filed on April 2 in Los Angeles Superior Court, claims that the policy discriminates against charter students by not providing them with facilities “reasonably equivalent” to public school campuses.
