Emergency Policy on Charter Renewals and Reviews
July 20, 2015
The District of Columbia Public Charter School Board (“PCSB”) announces an opportunity for the public to submit comment on the Emergency Policy on Charter Renewal and Review Criteria. This policy would not change the law or the standards required for a charter renewal or review, instead in every renewal and review report, PCSB staff would include a section that laid out for the Board the absolute level and changes over time of proficiency rates of each of the students groups described in the policy. The Board would then consider this information in light of the policy when it is making its decision.
