I’ve previously posted about the ridiculous rules many charter schools in California have requiring parents to volunteer if they want their children to attend (see L.A. Times Editorial Headline: “Charter schools’ volunteer demands may discourage needy students”).

The State of California has now officially declared that schools can’t have those kinds of requirements.

You can read more about it in The San Francisco Chronicle article headlined Schools: Ask, don’t tell when it comes to parent time and cash.
