In Los Angeles Internat. Charter High School v. Los Angeles Unified School Dist. (2012) 209 Cal.App.4th 1348, Los Angeles International Charter High School (LAICHS) requested space within the area served by Franklin High School, which was situated in "local district 4." (International Charter High School, supra, 209 Cal.App.4th at p. 1352.) After the District determined that it was unable to offer any space to LAICHS, the charter school filed a petition for writ of mandate. The trial court issued a peremptory writ of mandate commanding the District to make an offer of facilities to LAICHS. (Id. at p. 1353.) The District filed a return on the writ stating that it had offered LAICHS space at Belmont High School. The trial court ruled that the District's offer of facilities at Belmont High School complied with the writ and discharged the writ. (Ibid.) On appeal, LAICHS contended the District abused its discretion in not offering LAICHS facilities at Franklin High School, the school that most of LAICHS's students would attend, were they not attending a charter school. (Id. at p. 1361.) The court held Belmont High School was "near" to LAICHS's preferred area in that it was located in local district 4, just as Franklin High School was, and Belmont High School was only three miles outside the geographic area identified by LAICHS in its facilities request. (Id. at pp. 1361-1362.)
