Best Practices: Oversight & Evaluation
Charter public schools can be a catalyst for change and can provide great educational options for families and students. Authorizers are responsible for deciding who can open new schools, setting clear expectations, overseeing school performance, and taking action if a school is not meeting expectations. This responsibility requires clear and consistent oversight practices, evaluation and transparency with the schools the authorizer oversees. Therefore, it is imperative that authorizers ensure their commitment and capacity by developing practices and organizational structures to fulfill authorizing responsibilities effectively and efficiently.
