State law requires the Board to adopt a performance framework and to ground its actions in evidence of the charter holder’s performance in accordance with the performance framework. The term “charter holder” refers to the entity that has entered into a charter contract with the Board to operate one or more charter schools. The Board’s Performance Framework includes an academic performance component (“academic framework”), a financial performance component (“financial framework”) and an operational performance component ("operational framework").

The Arizona Charter Schools Association (“Association”) has developed a tool to assist parents, educators, business leaders and others in navigating Arizona’s education marketplace by allowing users to easily compare information for multiple schools at once. Through the Association’s “Education Evaluator”, users may compare student achievement data, enrollment information and student funding data for all public charter and district schools in Arizona.

Arizona Revised Statutes, including the rest of Title 15 – Education.
