Review Procedures
The digital copy of the application will be posted online and will be available to anyone. Related documents may also be posted.
An expert panel will review and evaluate all applications for charter status. The application and the reviewers' recommendations will be presented to the Superintendent. Once the Superintendent has determined what the recommendation will be, that recommendation will be placed on an agenda for the School Board's consideration.
The School Board shall, by a majority vote, approve or deny an application no later than 90 calendar days after the application is received unless a mutual agreement is made to temporarily postpone the vote to a specific date.
If an application is denied, the School Board will, within ten calendar days, articulate in writing the specific reasons based on good cause supporting its denial of the charter application to the State Board of Education.
Upon approval of a charter application, the terms and conditions for the operation of a charter school shall be formed in a written contractual agreement.
