Staff Review
Board staff will review the charter holder's information for compliance with Arizona Statute, Rule, Policy, and the charter holder's contract. The review will include the submitted documentation, documentation in the charter holder's contract, as well as documentation and information found on the charter holder's website.
Virtual Meeting
Following the Staff review of documentation, a virtual meeting will be held with representatives of the charter holder/charter school. This meeting should include any personnel who can speak to the academic systems of the school and compliance related areas.
During this meeting:
Representatives of the charter will be asked questions about the academic systems of the school and the academic documentation that was provided.
Board Staff will provide a summary of the compliance findings.
Board staff will inform the Charter Representative if additional documents are needed for the compliance or academic components after Board staff has had the opportunity to discuss findings with charter personnel. The charter holder will have 48 hours from the time of the follow-up email to submit any additional documents to demonstrate compliance or implementation of the school's academic systems. Charter and school personnel should treat this scheduled date as if Board staff is on site for a visit and be prepared to gather additional documentation at the conclusion of the call.
