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 Charter SELPA 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 Charter SELPA Administrator or his/her designee determines that a Charter LEA member is not compliant and/or operating in a fiscally irresponsible manner, the Charter SELPA Administrator will require the responsibility for any resulting costs be borne by the Charter LEA member as specified in the Charter SELPA Local Plan. The Charter LEA member will have the right to appeal any such determination to the Charter SELPA Executive Council. The Charter SELPA 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 Charter SELPA 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 Charter SELPA Administrator or designee will assist Charter LEA members in resolving complaints through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). Section D – Governance All requirements of the Charter SELPA Local Plan related to governance apply to Charter LEA members of the Charter SELPA. Community Advisory Committee (CAC) Each Charter LEA member will select a representative to participate in the Charter SELPA CAC. This group will advise the Charter SELPA Administrator on the implementation of the Local Plan as well as provide parent training options. CAC representatives must be approved by the Charter LEA’s governing school board. Additionally, because of the geographic diversity anticipated within the Charter SELPA, many meetings will be conducted using available technology.
