Renewal is the defining moment in charter schooling. Charter schools are built around the promise of greater autonomy in exchange for greater accountability, and the renewal decision is where a charter school is held to task. Is the school an academic success? Did it meet the performance goals and standards laid out in its charter contract? Does performance warrant future operation or should it be closed? Making these determinations is one of the foremost responsibilities of charter school authorizers.
