(a) For purposes of
					 Education Code section
					 47605(c),
					 a charter petition shall be "consistent with sound educational practice" if, in
					 the SBE's judgment, it is likely to be of educational benefit to pupils who

					 educational needs of every student who might possibly seek to enroll in order
					 for the charter to be granted by the SBE.
(b) For purposes of Education Code section
					 47605(c)(1),
					 a charter petition shall be "an unsound educational program" if it is any of
					 the following:
(1) A program that involves
					 activities that the SBE determines would present the likelihood of physical,
					 educational, or psychological harm to the affected pupils.
(2) A program that the SBE determines not to
					 be likely to be of educational benefit to the pupils who
					 attend.
