The last years of a charter term are the “make or break” time for renewal. We can help you establish and implement a Charter Renewal Plan that leads to successful renewal. Our charter renewal planning process includes:
- A “snapshot” analysis of your academic performance, progress towards meeting charter goals, operational effectiveness, governance, financial soundness and compliance with commitments made in your charter
- An analysis of your school’s strengths and weaknesses, with recommendations for improvements to enhance the likelihood of charter renewal
- Review of areas where your charter school’s program implementation, operations and/or governance are not consistent with your authorizer approved charter, with recommendations to better align them or modify the charter
- Discussion, decision-making and preparation for expansion or other changes in your charter school’s next term.
- A timetable of actions to be taken in order to prepare a successful charter renewal application on or before the submission deadline
- If necessary, development and implantation of a “Charter Term Turnaround Plan” to address significant issues, challenges and problems and improve your chances for charter renewal
- As appropriate, discussion, decision-making and preparation for replication and/or networking of your charter school
