The ACATL Leadership Academy is being proposed as an independent study, non-classroom based, grades 9-12 charter school within the Sweetwater Union High School District. Although ALA will potentially serve all students, their goal is to recapture students who have “left the traditional school system.”  The timeline for processing new charter petitions to school districts is as follows: (1) Day 1: Complete petition is submitted and officially received by the district; Day 30 – school district must hold a public hearing; Day 60 – school district must either grant or deny the charter (extension of 30 calendar days can be granted if both parties agree).
