  2. About the Application Process • In Illinois, local school districts are the primary authorizers of charter schools. • In case of denial, the applicant has the option to access the appeal process and submit the request to the State Charter School Commission • Upon approval from either, the application is forwarded to ISBE. Special Education is part of the entire application and should not be submitted separately.

  3. Legal Implications • § 300.209 Treatment of charter schools and their students. • (a) Rights of children with disabilities. • (b) Charter schools that are public schools of the LEA

  4. Legal Implications • i) Serve children with disabilities attending those charter schools in the same manner as the LEA serves children with disabilities in its other schools, • ii) Provide funds under Part B of the Act to those charter schools

  5. Funds • (A) On the same basis as the LEA provides funds to the LEA’s other public schools, including proportional distribution based on relative enrollment of children with disabilities; and • (B) At the same time as the LEA distributes other Federal funds to the LEA’s other public schools, consistent with the State’s charter school law.
