Does the Williams Settlement apply to NPSs?
Two major provisions of the Williams Settlement apply to each NPS. First, each student must have their own reasonably current textbooks or educational materials, in useable condition, in each core subject to use in class without sharing with another student and to use at home each evening for homework. Second, the Williams Settlement requires that each student have a qualified teacher for each class. The Williams Settlement applies to all public schools in California. By virtue of EC §s 56366.1(n)(1) and 56366.10(b)(1), the Williams Settlement also applies to each NPS.
