[Update:] Assembly Bill 1316 was dropped on June 3 and will not be moving forward.
A state Assembly bill that is meant to prevent the abuses revealed in a California charter school fraud scandal and create more accountability is facing extreme backlash from charter school supporters.
The bill, Assembly Bill 1316, includes several measures that mostly address non-classroom-based charter school accountability, finances, and operations. It was created in light of the A3 Charter School case, when the online charter school network operators altered enrollment numbers to pocket hundreds of millions of state education dollars.
