6400/0420-BP |
The governing board
believes that charter schools provide one opportunity to implement school-level
reform and to support innovations which improve student learning. These schools
shall operate under the provisions of their charters, federal laws, and general
oversight of the board.
As needed, the
superintendent or designee may work with charter school petitioners to
establish workable plans for technical assistance or contracted services which
the district may provide to the proposed charter school.
In determining
whether to grant or deny a charter, the board shall carefully review the
proposed charter and any supplementary information, consider public and staff
input, and determine whether the charter petition adequately addresses all the
provisions required by law. The board shall not deny a charter school petition
unless specific written factual findings are made pursuant to law and
administrative regulation.
The board shall
ensure that any charter granted by the board contains adequate processes and
measures for holding the school accountable for fulfilling the terms of its
charter. These shall include, but not be limited to, fiscal accountability
systems as well as multiple measures for evaluating the educational program. To
assist the board in its general oversight responsibility, charters shall
provide for regular reports to the board related to the charter provisions.
