Proposition 39 (“Prop. 39”) is a state law passed by California voters in 2000, which requires school districts to make facilities (including both classroom and non-classroom spaces) available to public charter schools serving students who reside in the district.

After the passage of Prop. 39, each school district must make available, to each eligible charter school operating in the district, facilities sufficient for the charter school to accommodate all of its in-district students in conditions reasonably equivalent to those in which the students would be accommodated if they were attending other public schools of the district.

The District’s 2021-2022 Prop 39 Facilities Request Form will be available on October 1, 2020.

Facilities Request Workshops and Office Hours

The Charter Schools Division is offering optional virtual workshops and regular virtual office hours during the month of October for charter schools interested in submitting a Prop. 39 facilities request for the 2021-2022 school year. Although attendance is not required, the District encourages charter school participation. 

The purpose of the Prop. 39 Facilities Request Workshops is to provide background to charter school staff completing the facilities request who may be new to the process or wish to have a refresher. The format of the workshop will be a presentation on Proposition 39 including a walk-through of the facilities request form and its required questions. Participation is limited to charter school employees. 

These virtual workshops will take place via Zoom. A meeting invitation with a Zoom link will be provided once we receive your registration for the specific date(s) of your choice.

We recommend that you register for access to your school’s facilities request form in advance of attending the workshop. You may request access and log in to your request at: www.laschools.org/prop39-online-facilities-request. Please also reference the attached “Facilities Request Guide” for detailed step-by-step instructions on requesting access and completing the facilities request process.
