the effects on students, student
academic achievement, staff and
parents; and expanding the number of
high-quality charter schools available to
students across the nation.
Charter school authorization is the
center of efforts to expand and ensure
high-quality public school choice
options through public charter schools.
Charter school authorizers are the
public entities primarily responsible for:
Initial charter authorizations, on-going
monitoring and oversight, and charter
renewal and closure decisions.
Currently there is not a comprehensive,
fully-populated tool for tracking the
activities of and evaluating the quality
of authorizers nationwide based on their
authorizing decisions in light of schools’
performance. The charter authorizer
survey will be the key tool by which the
National Charter School Resource
Center collects the following data
elements from the nation’s charter
school authorizers: Authorizing agency;
authorizing agency type (e.g., school
district, State Educational Agency,
independent authorizer), basic school
information, year the school opened,
past renewal decision(s), reasons for
nonrenewal (if applicable), year closed
(if applicable), reason for closure (if
applicable), and the next renewal
decision year. The charter school
authorizer survey will be administered
once annually, in the spring.
Respondents will be able to complete
and return the survey in paper form or
electronically, by visiting a link stated
on the paper form.

collection submission for OMB review
