The Handbook summarizes the opening procedures process, identifies the action items that must be completed prior to the school's opening, lists documents that must be submitted to the Charter School Office as part of the opening procedures process (as well as their due dates), and lists additional resources available to the school founders as they prepare to open the school's doors to students. The first section of the Handbook, "Material Terms of the Charter," focuses founding groups on further articulating the terms upon which the school's charter was granted. The second section of the Handbook, "School Administration," alerts school founders to regulations around the hiring, evaluation, and professional development of staff, as well as ensures that new charter schools are prepared to offer a full range of programs and services to their students, including special education, transportation, and nutrition services. The third section of the Handbook, "Organizational Viability," provides guidance to ensure that charter schools have the processes in place to perform due diligence in the responsible management of the school's fiscal affairs.

Download or read book Alternative Schools written by Brenda Edgerton Conley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-11-22 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the growth and development of alternative schools in American society and their role in the public school environment. In Alternative Schools: A Reference Handbook, educator Brenda Edgerton Conley surveys the emerging alternatives to our conventional educational system—a system that is not only costly, but ineffective for many children. In a resource aimed at a broad audience—school administrators, politicians, and, most important, parents—Conley offers both a historical and a present-day perspective on alternative educational programs. What sets the alternative education movement apart, she argues, is its acknowledgment that we all learn differently. That knowledge has given rise to an explosion of exciting alternatives—from open schools to home schooling, from charter schools to church schools. These alternative schools are smaller and less bureaucratic, more responsive to the community, and more receptive to change.
