007public elementary or secondary school within the local education agency, including a public charter school. Please note, if another campus is not available within the LEA, the policy should provide for other types of services to ensure the safety of the student. In addition, the LEA is encouraged to attempt to secure a cooperative agreement with another LEA to accept transfers when reasonable and appropriate. If in compliance, the LEA assures that it has documentation showing compliance readily available upon request. Strongest documentation, a copy of policy approved as per LEA's policies and procedures. Documentation that any student who has been affected by either of these circumstances has been offered the opportunity to transfer.

008been a victim of violent criminal offense at school. The LEA is required to have policies in place that address both these contingencies. A charter school is a school of choice but must provide other types of services to ensure the safety of the student. The LEA may have other documentation that potentially might show compliance. In the event of an audit, TEA or audit staff would make the final determination concerning whether the documentation is sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the program requirement.
