1. good standing. All charter schools will begin at this level;

2. notice of concern. If the Department of Education receives a verified complaint or if regular oversight generates significant concerns or questions, a school will receive a notice of concern. The notice of concern will contain specific actions and due dates required to remedy the concern. Upon remedying the concern the school will return to good standing. One or more notices of concern may lead to increased oversight by the Department of Education;

3. notice of breach. For significant, intentional, or repeated non-compliance with requirements outlined in the charter school performance compact, law, or BESE policy, or if a school fails to correct a notice of concern, the school will be issued a notice of breach that will contain specific actions and due dates required to remedy the breach. The Department of Education will monitor the implementation of the steps required to cure the breach. Once a school has fulfilled the notice of breach requirements, the school will return to good standing. One or more notices of breach may lead to increased oversight by the Department of Education;

4. revocation review. Upon failure to meet the requirements specified in the notice of breach, in instances of ongoing and significant concerns, or when the safety, health, or welfare of students is threatened, the department may initiate a revocation review. The review may include additional visits to the school or an in-depth audit to assess financial and/or organizational health. Findings from the revocation review will determine whether the Department of Education shall commence revocation proceedings or whether the school will be granted a new or revised notice of breach.
