Evaluation

An evaluation is conducted annually to determine if the Charter Holder meets or is making sufficient progress toward the academic performance expectations set forth in the Board's academic performance framework. A Charter Holder that does not receive an Overall Rating of “Meets Standard,” “Above Standard” or “Exceeds Standard” in the most recent fiscal year that State achievement profiles are available for all schools operated by the Charter Holder does not meet the Board’s academic performance expectations and is required to demonstrate sufficient progress and/or submit a copy of the school improvement plan to the Board.

 

Demonstrating Sufficient Progress Toward the Board’s Academic Performance Expectations
A Charter Holder that has one or more schools that receive an Overall Rating of “Does Not Meet Standard” or “Falls Far Below Standard” for three consecutive years has failed to demonstrate sufficient progress. In its determination of whether a Charter Holder demonstrates sufficient progress toward the Board’s academic performance expectations, the Board will consider the Overall Rating for each of the schools it operates for the three most recent years that Overall Ratings are available and whether or not there has been improvement in the measures used to determine the Overall Rating. 

School Improvement Plans

The Arizona Department of Education (ADE) annually identifies schools in “improvement status” that demonstrate low academic performance and are required to submit improvement plans. This includes schools identified for improvement and/or Targeted or Comprehensive Support, and schools receiving a “D” or “F” letter grade.

If a school(s) operated by the charter holder is assigned a school improvement plan by ADE, the charter holder will be required to submit a copy of the school improvement plan by the deadline date provided by ADE. Within 30 business days of submission, Board staff will review the school improvement plan for administrative completeness to confirm whether it contains all components required by statute, rule and ADE guidance.

The Administrative Completeness Workshop for improvement plans was conducted on September 28, 2016 at the Board Office. Below is the slide presentation along with the SCIP Administrative Completeness Review checklist for your reference. If you have additional questions please contact the Board office at 602-364-3080.
