11. Key Points When a charter gets reauthorized it must be reported in CALPADS. Charters failing to meet state and federal reporting requirements may experience consequences, including funding cuts or revocation/non-renewal of the school’s charter. Authorizing LEAs must ensure that their charters meet state reporting requirements. Failing to do so could have negative consequences for the authorizing LEA. 11
