Since the passage of NCLB, there has been much speculation in the charter school community generally, and among authorizers specifically, on how the provisions of this federal law will affect how authorizers hold charter schools accountable for performance. This Policy Brief reports on and makes several recommendations on the obligations of charter school authorizers in relation to the implementation of NCLB Title I accountability. NCLB requires every state to develop and implement a “single, statewide State accountability system” (“state accountability plan” or “state plan”) as a condition for receiving Title I funds. Sec. 1111(a)(2)(A). These state plans define the NCLB terms, goals and measures to which local education agencies (LEAs) and individual schools are held accountable.
