Legal action was filed by three San Diego County charter school networks

A lawsuit by three San Diego County charter school networks that said they were wrongfully denied state funding now represents all 308 of California’s charter schools that provide online, home school, and other nontraditional learning. Sacramento Superior Court Judge James Arguelles granted the plaintiffs in Reyes v. State of California class-action status in a recent court order. Attorneys for the charter school plaintiffs say this is the first class-action lawsuit involving charter schools in California’s history.

The schools often provide a range of virtual, at-home, and in-person instruction. Read more here.
