In Ridgecrest Charter School v. Sierra Sands Unified School Dist. (2005) 130 Cal.App.4th 986, Sierra Sands Unified School District responded to a request for facilities from Ridgecrest Charter School by offering the charter school "9.5 classrooms at five different school sites separated by a total of 65 miles." (Ridgecrest, supra, 130 Cal.App.4th at p. 991.) The charter school petitioned for a writ of mandate compelling the school district to provide "'contiguous'" school facilities at a single site or, if that was not possible, to provide facilities in such a way as to "'minimize student dislocation and maximize student safety.'" (Id. at p. 996.) The court observed that one of the implementing regulations mentioned "'accommodating a charter school might involve moving district-operated programs or changing attendance areas.'" (Id. at p. 1000, italics omitted.) Thus, the regulations seemed to "contemplate that some disruption and dislocation of the students and programs in a district may be necessary to fairly accommodate a charter school's request for facilities." (Ibid.) The Court of Appeal noted section 47614's mandate that public school facilities be shared fairly among charter and noncharter students and held that "providing facilities, whether or not they are reasonably equivalent in other respects, at five different school sites does not strike a fair balance between the needs of the charter school and those of the district-run schools. The District failed, in other words, to demonstrate either that it could not accommodate Ridgecrest Charter School at a single school site, or that it had minimized the number of sites in a manner consistent with the intent of the Act." (Ridgecrest, supra, at p. 1006.)
