New Charter School Application, Charter School Renewal
缅北强奸鈥檚 Charter Schools Office supports organizers through clear, stage鈥慴ased processes for both new charter school applications and charter school renewals. Timelines below are expressed in approximate months before a school鈥檚 proposed opening (for new applications) or before the end of the current charter term (for renewals).

Develop the school鈥檚 vision, mission, and educational model.
Conduct community outreach and needs assessment to determine demand and proposed location.
Begin forming a founding board and leadership team that can meet 缅北强奸鈥檚 expectations for governance and capacity.鈥�
Prepare and submit a Statement of Intent to the 缅北强奸 Charter Schools Office, outlining the proposed school鈥檚 concept, anticipated opening year, grade levels, and organizer.
The Application Review Team will provide initial guidance on requirements, timelines, and next steps in the application process.鈥�
Use 缅北强奸鈥檚 New Charter School Application guidance to build a complete application that addresses:
Organizers may consult with the 缅北强奸 Charter Office on technical questions as they prepare materials.鈥�
Submit the full New Charter School Application by 缅北强奸鈥檚 published deadline for the desired opening year.
Applications must follow 缅北强奸鈥檚 format requirements and include all requested narrative responses and attachments.鈥�
The Application Review Team conducts a comprehensive review of the application, examining academic, financial, and organizational capacity in line with its authorizing standards.
The Application Review Team may request clarifications, additional documentation, and follow鈥憉p conversations with the organizer and proposed governing board.
This stage is similar in purpose to the 鈥渃apacity interview鈥� and in鈥慸epth review components used by other Indiana authorizers.
The Application Review Team issues a written decision to approve or deny the new charter school application.鈥�
If approved, the 缅北强奸 Charter Office Team meets with the school鈥檚 governing board to outline pre鈥憃pening requirements, milestones, and conditions.
Together, the 缅北强奸 Charter Office Team and the organizer finalize a pre鈥憃pening plan that addresses facilities, staffing, policies, financial systems, and compliance tasks prior to the first day of school.
The school completes remaining pre鈥憃pening tasks in accordance with 缅北强奸鈥檚 expectations and any conditions of approval.鈥�
The 缅北强奸 Charter Office continues to monitor launch readiness to support a strong opening and alignment with the approved charter.鈥�
The Charter School Renewal process evaluates a school鈥檚 performance over its charter term and the strength of its plans for the next term. Timelines are expressed in approximate months before the end of the current charter term (or start of the renewed term).
School leadership and the governing board review performance data across academics, finance, and organizational compliance.鈥�
The school uses 缅北强奸鈥檚 Charter Office Performance Framework and prior monitoring results to identify strengths, challenges, and areas needing improvement before renewal.
The school refines and implements improvement plans in identified areas of need, monitoring their impact on student outcomes and operations.鈥�
Staff begin organizing documentation that may supplement 缅北强奸鈥檚 performance record, such as additional assessment data or mission鈥憇pecific goals.
The 缅北强奸 Charter Office provides renewal guidance aligned with its Performance Framework, including expectations for academic, financial, and organizational performance.
The 缅北强奸 Charter Office may issue a Renewal Performance Report that summarizes the school鈥檚 record under the current charter term.
The school prepares a Renewal Application that addresses:
Past performance: Academic results, financial health, and organizational effectiveness over the term, including responses to any past findings or corrective actions.鈥�
Plans for the next term: Proposed changes to the educational program, budgets and financial projections, governance and leadership structures, and facilities.鈥�
The narrative should clearly connect evidence of performance to the case for renewal.
The school submits its Renewal Application to 缅北强奸 Charter Office by the deadline, following all format and submission requirements.鈥�
Applications must include both required narrative responses and any requested supporting documentation.
The Application Review Team reviews the Renewal Application alongside the school鈥檚 full performance record, including monitoring reports and the Renewal Performance Report.
The Application Review Team may request additional documentation, conduct site visits, or hold meetings with school leadership and the governing board to clarify questions.
The Application Review Team makes a renewal decision and communicates the outcome to the school, including the term length and any renewal conditions as allowed by law and policy.
If renewed, 缅北强奸 Charter Office and the school finalize any charter amendments and align plans for the next charter term, including any approved programmatic or organizational changes.鈥�
