Two bills aimed at limiting charter schools have passed in the California State Assembly and the State Senate’s Education Committee. They now head to the State Senate floor where they are also expected to pass.

AB 1505 would limit charter school appeals, restrict county charter programs, and allow districts broad discretion to deny renewing a charter school. Its sister bill, AB 1507 would prohibit establishing any charter school site outside its authorizing district.
