Participants will examine CalSTRS's updated position on employee classification and learn essential documentation strategies to demonstrate compliance and minimize penalties and interest. The session also covers the Attorney General's recent guidance clarifying counties' authority to pursue penalties from charter school operating funds for reporting errors, providing practical insights into enforcement mechanisms. Participants will explore recommended frameworks for agreements between charter schools and counties to effectively handle CalSTRS appeals and challenges.
