Newhall School Dist. v. Acton-Agua etc. CA2/3
In the underlying proceeding, the trial court granted Newhall School District’s (Newhall) writ petition, in part, by vacating Acton-Agua Dulce Unified School District’s (Acton) approval under the Charter Schools Act of 1992 (Ed. Code, § 47600 et seq. (the Charter Schools Act)) of a charter school to be located in Newhall’s jurisdiction, but denying Newhall’s request to void the charter ab initio. The court remanded the matter to Acton to hold a new hearing to make the pertinent findings under Education Code section 47605, on the record, without improperly considering financial gain as a factor. Acton held a new hearing and approved a new charter school, again to be located in Newhall.
Newhall appeals from the denial of its motion for an award of attorney fees under the private attorney general statute (Code Civ. Proc., § 1021.5). We conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion.
