Introduction It is the intent of the Desert/Mountain Charter Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) to provide options for charter schools in terms of membership. While it is always preferable for a charter school to participate in their geographic SELPA, the Charter SELPA has been developed to allow for a viable alternative for SELPA membership. The information contained herein provides guidelines and specific criteria which must be met for a charter school to be considered for Local Education Agency (LEA) membership in the Charter SELPA. Any charter school may apply to the Charter SELPA to become a Charter LEA member. Applications must be made to the Charter SELPA on or before January 31st of the school year preceding the school year in which the charter school anticipates operating as a Charter LEA member within the Charter SELPA. Refer to Appendix A for Charter Application Timeline. Charter LEA member status will not become effective prior to July 1st of the year in which final approval is granted. Once granted LEA membership, the new Charter LEA will participate in the governance of the Charter SELPA in the same manner as all other Charter LEA members. The charter school will be deemed a Charter LEA member of the Charter SELPA if the California Association of Health and Education Linked Professions, a Joint Powers Authority (CAHELP JPA), Governance Council determines that the Charter LEA has met all requirements as specified in the Charter SELPA Local Plan and policies and procedures.
