The main goal of the California Department of Education Charter-Schools Listserv is to provide the California charter school community and other interested parties a conduit to important and time sensitive information from the California Department of Education. The Charter-Schools Listserv is maintained by the Lyris Listserv team in coordination with Charter School Division staff.

Are there any rules regarding message content?
Currently, list member postings are not permitted. For individuals interested in sharing important news with charter school colleagues, we invite you to submit requests/recommendations for postings to the Charter-Schools Listserv at charters@cde.ca.gov .
My school or personal e-mail service provider has restrictions on specific types of and/or size of attachments. Will this be a problem on the Charter-Schools Listserv?
We anticipate sending most e-mails with hyperlinks to the CDE web site where, at the user's option, the documents and information can be viewed, printed and downloaded. On occasions we may need to include attachments, but in no case would we forward executable application files. Typical attachment formats may include MS Word documents, MS Excel Spreadsheets, and Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF).
How do I know if I am subscribed to a list?

Your e-mail address may have been removed from the mailing list due to a problem at your site with your e-mail system. Your listserv subscription will be placed on hold, and we will attempt to contact you every other day for up to 10 days to confirm your subscription and reset your account to active status. You may need to edit your settings on the mailing list. You may do so by visiting CDE Listserv Information page and follow the charter school links to the online login form. No password is required. Simply enter your e-mail address and press the 'enter site' button. Select the 'Your Settings' button and edit your list address.
If you are unable to access the CDE Listserv information page, you may choose to re subscribe by visiting the Charter-Schools Listserv Subscription and complete the online subscription form.
My e-mail address is changing. What should I do?
If your e-mail address changes you are responsible for changing your address on the list. You may do so by unsubscribing your old e-mail address in the box at the top of the page and then subscribing your new address.
