Updated Material Revision Handbook 
An updated Material Revision Handbook is now available on the Material Revision section of the OCS website. This handbook incorporates relevant changes in State law made by AB 1505 and replaces all other material revision guidance documents that were previously provided by OCS. All charter school leaders should familiarize themselves with the section outlining types of changes that may require a material revision. If you have any questions related to material revisions, please email Elizabet Wendt (elizabet.wendt@ousd.org).

AB 1505 and Updates to the OUSD Charter School Board Policy
