Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report provides the results of our performance audit of the Louisiana Department of Education's (LDE) monitoring of charter schools. The Louisiana Legislative Auditor's 2013 performance audit on LDE's monitoring of charter schools1 authorized by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) recommended that LDE implement a more comprehensive process to annually assess charter schools' compliance with legal/contractual obligations (organizational performance).2 In its response, LDE stated that its new Charter School Performance Compact (CSPC), which was created3 by LDE and approved by BESE in January 2013, would satisfy this recommendation. We evaluated LDE's use of the CSPC to monitor BESE-authorized charter schools' organizational performance. BESE authorizes three of the six types of charter schools (types 2, 4, and 5). During the 2015- 16 academic year, there were approximately 53,000 students in 98 BESE-authorized charter schools. These schools received approximately $239 million in state general fund dollars (through the Minimum Foundation Program) and $231 million in local funds for a total of $470 million.4 Exhibit 1 summarizes the three types of charter schools authorized by BESE.."--Introduction.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A heated debate is raging over our nation’s public schools and how they should be reformed, with proposals ranging from imposing national standards to replacing public education altogether with a voucher system for private schools. Combining decades of experience in education, the authors propose an innovative approach to solving the problems of our school system and find a middle ground between these extremes. Reinventing Public Education shows how contracting would radically change the way we operate our schools, while keeping them public and accessible to all, and making them better able to meet standards of achievement and equity. Using public funds, local school boards would select private providers to operate individual schools under formal contracts specifying the type and quality of instruction. In a hands-on, concrete fashion, the authors provide a thorough explanation of the pros and cons of school contracting and how it would work in practice. They show how contracting would free local school boards from operating schools so they can focus on improving educational policy; how it would allow parents to choose the best school for their children; and, finally, how it would ensure that schools are held accountable and academic standards are met. While retaining a strong public role in education, contracting enables schools to be more imaginative, adaptable, and suited to the needs of children and families. In presenting an alternative vision for America’s schools, Reinventing Public Education is too important to be ignored.

Book excerpt: Charter schools are public schools that are granted increased autonomy by states in exchange for meeting specified academic goals. State law determines who approves the formation of a charter school, often the board of education. As public schools, charter schools are subject to the performance requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLBA) as well. In this environment, states' systems for allowing charter schools flexibility and ensuring school performance and financial integrity assume greater importance. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) examined: (1) how states allow charter schools flexibility; (2) how states promote accountability for school performance and financial integrity for charter schools; (3) the implications of NCLBA for charter schools; and (4) the role the Department of Education plays in charter school accountability. GAO surveyed the 39 states and jurisdictions with operating charter schools in 2002-03 and interviewed charter school experts and Education officials. The following are appended: (1) Scope and Methodology; (2) Selected Data Tables from Survey; (3) Summary of Selected Charter School Research Projects Sponsored by the Department of Education; (4) Comments from the Department of Education; and (5) GAO Contacts and Staff Acknowledgements. (Contains 14 figures & 7 tables.).
