A. For each BESE-authorized charters school in the final year of operation under its current charter term, the state superintendent shall make a recommendation to BESE as to whether the charter should be renewed, and if so, the length of the proposed renewal term.
B. A BESE-authorized charter school may be renewed at the discretion of BESE if all requirements set forth in law and policy for the renewal of a charter have been met.
C. The process for renewing a school charter shall be based on a thorough review of the charter school's academic, financial, and organizational performance as provided for in the charter school performance compact.
D. BESE will rely on data from the states assessment and accountability program as objective and verifiable measures of student achievement and school performance. Student performance is the primary indicator of school quality; therefore, BESE will heavily factor each charter schools student performance data in all renewal decisions.
