Fourteen charter schools in Georgia recently received a vote of approval for renewal of their contracts.
The State Charter Schools Commission of Georgia (SCSC) Board of Commissioners (Board) voted at the end of February to renew charter contracts for 14 state charter schools. These schools were recommended for renewal following a “rigorous evaluation of each school’s academic, financial, and
organizational performance over the charter term,” as measured by the SCSC Comprehensive Performance Framework.
In the last year of a school’s charter term, the school may apply for charter renewal. The SCSC charter renewal process is data-driven, meaning staff and commissioners consider the performance track record of the school as measured by the SCSC Comprehensive Performance Framework (CPF) and whether the school is fulfilling the SCSC mission of providing students with a better educational opportunity than they would otherwise receive in traditional district schools.
