Use of Academic Performance in the Charter School Renewal Process, Louisiana Department of Education by PDF Summary

Book Description: "We evaluated the Louisiana Department of Education’s (LDE) use of academic performance in the charter school renewal process. LDE’s process for renewing charter schools is important because the department is responsible for making a recommendation to the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) about whether it should approve each charter school’s renewal application. This recommendation is based on a review of a school’s operations, including student academic performance, school financial performance, and compliance with various charter school requirements. According to BESE’s charter school regulations,1 academic performance is considered the primary indicator of school quality and, as a result, should play a key role in whether a charter school is recommended for renewal. BESE’s charter school regulations require LDE to monitor the performance of type 2, 4, and 5 charter schools and conduct renewal reviews of these schools’ charters. BESE is the authorizer for these three types of charter schools. From academic years 2011-12 through 2015- 16, there were 121 type 2, 4, and 5 charter schools that operated for at least one year, serving approximately 48,300 students per year. According to state law,2 at the end of a school’s charter term, BESE may renew the charter school after a thorough review. A charter school can be renewed for terms ranging from three to 10 years and cannot continue operating if not renewed. School Performance Scores (SPS) and their corresponding letter grades are used to determine the minimum length of a charter school’s renewal term. A charter school that meets expectations in other performance areas is eligible to have extra years added to the length of its charter term, as shown in Exhibit 1."--Introduction.
