school. In practice, the relationships between authorizers, charter schools, and SELPA can vary significantly, and a MOU becomes a critical document for clarifying arrangements and agreements. If a child with a disability enrolls in the Charter LEA and he/she needs additional related services, the services will be the responsibility of the Charter LEA. The DMCS Administrator or designee will work collaboratively with the SELPA where the Charter LEA is located to contract with them or locate additional providers from the area. Clearly defined MOUs between the authorizer and charter school will help minimize and mitigate operational challenges for charter schools, authorizing entities, and the SELPA in which the charter school is located. G. Compliance Assurances The DMCS administration shall monitor the Charter LEA member’s special education program implementation to ensure compliance in all areas including equal access and enrollment procedures for all children with disabilities, finance, service delivery, and legal requirements. If the DMCS Administrator or his/her designee determines that a Charter LEA member is not compliant and/or operating in a fiscally irresponsible manner, the DMCS Administrator will require the responsibility for any resulting costs be borne by the Charter LEA member as specified in the DMCS Local Plan. The Charter LEA member will have the right to appeal any such determination to the DMCS Executive Council. The DMCS Executive Council will make a recommendation for maintaining or revoking membership to the CAHELP JPA Governance Council. The decision of the CAHELP JPA Governance Council shall be final. H. Complaint Resolution Procedures Each Charter LEA member of the DMCS must annually notify in writing to its students, employees, and parents/guardians, about the procedures for filing a special education compliance complaint. The notification includes the opportunity to appeal a local decision to the CDE, any civil law remedies that may be available, and the procedures the CDE will use in investigating the complaint. The DMCS Administrator or designee will assist Charter LEA members in resolving complaints through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).
