A charter school must identify a single charter school that will operate within the geographic boundaries of the LEA ( Education Code § 47605(a)(1) ), or, if multiple sites will operate within the authorizing LEA, that all locations be identified in the charter petition. Additionally, where a charter school provides a majority of its educational services in, and a majority of its students are residents of, the county in which it is authorized, the charter school may establish a resource center, meeting space, or other satellite facility in an adjacent county, provided the facility is used exclusively for educational support of students enrolled in nonclassroom-based independent study.

Identifying at least one staff member as a contact person for the charter school; b. Visiting each charter school at least annually; c. Ensuring that each charter school under its authority complies with all reports required of charter schools by law, including the local control and accountability plan and annual update to the local control and accountability plan required pursuant to California Education Code § 47606.5 ; d.
