Charter Renewal 

Existing charter schools who elect to petition for renewal of their charter will go through a process with the following components:

1. Initial meeting with Office of Charter + Partner Schools to discuss the renewal process and timelines and to review highlights of annual performance monitoring from current charter term

2. Submission of charter renewal petition application to Office of Charter + Partner Schools including any proposed changes for next charter term

3. Panel interview about current performance relative to the APS charter school performance framework and elements of the school’s renewal petition application

At the conclusion of that process, the Office of Charter + Partner Schools will consult with the APS superintendent who will make a recommendation to the Atlanta Board of Education to approve or deny the renewal of the school’s charter.  If approved, the State Board of Education will then make its own determination as to whether to approve or deny the school’s charter.

Questions about the process can be directed by email to Matt Underwood.
