III. COMPLIANCE Submissions

Charter Holders have two options to submit required documentation to ASBCS.

  1. Through Google Drive (preferred). A Google Drive folder for submission of documents has been shared with the Charter Representative and can be shared with any additional school staff as needed. The Charter Holder must use the Google Drive provided by Board staff, not provide a link to the Charter Holder's own Google Drive or other shared drive.

  2. Mail or hand deliver a flash drive with all required documents to ASBCS (must be received by the due date identified in the notification).

For either method of document submission, the Charter Holder should ensure that documents are in clearly labeled folders as follows:

    1. "Board Meetings"

      • Governing Board agendas for the last 12 months

      • Governing Board minutes for the last 12 months
