WCCUSD Settles Lawsuit With California Charter School Association

California Charter Schools Association sued West Contra Costa Unified School District for local bond fund monies.

The West Contra Costa Unified School District (WCCUSD) has reportedly settled a lawsuit with the California Charter Schools Association (CCSA) today, agreeing to share parcel tax revenue with local charter schools.

According to EdSource, the CCSA hopes to send a message to other districts that have a parcel tax or are considering putting one on the ballot this year that charter schools should have a fair share of the bond funds.

The report states that, “after lengthy negotiations, the charters agreed to accept half of the per-student money going to district schools under the current parcel tax, starting this year through 2018-19, when it will expire. The school board agreed to share 100 percent of the per-student revenue in future taxes.”
