Are You Eligible for School-Specific Academic Goals

If your charter school meets the eligibility criteria to use the School Specific Academic Goals to demonstrate meeting the Board’s academic performance expectations, the charter holder may submit the eligibility form. Eligibility forms will be accepted until August 30, 2017. Remember, a school is eligible if it serves a special population that does not have an achievement profile pursuant to A.R.S. § 15-241(H), and at least 70% of the students served by the school are identified as needing special education services and homeless.

Charter Holder Liaisons

To provide clear and consistent communication between charter holders and Board staff, each charter holder has been assigned to an Education Program Manager (“EPM”). The EPM assigned to a charter holder is the primary point of contact for the charter representative and is responsible for all processes (interval review, renewal, amendment requests) for that charter holder.

View the filterable list of EPM assignments. For each charter holder the list identifies the EPM assigned to the charter as well as the EPM’s phone number and email address.
