L.A. school officials say policy limiting campus sharing with charters protects key programs from being undermined. Charters say rules are unfair, illegal.

The struggle between traditional and charter schools intensified Tuesday when a narrow Los Angeles school board majority passed a sweeping policy that will limit when charters can operate on district-owned campuses. Access to public school campuses for charter schools is guaranteed under state law — and charter advocates immediately threatened to sue over the new restrictions.

'By prioritizing public school students attending district-run schools over public school students who attend charter public schools, the policy violates' state law mandating that “public school facilities should be shared fairly among all public school pupils, including those in charter schools,” according to a letter sent to the district Monday by the law firm Latham & Watkins.
