In recent years, we have seen a growing number of charter schools across the state struggle through renewal--even some schools with strong track records and seemingly good relations with their local authorizers. Renewal of our existing charter schools is a high priority for the Association, and it is our goal to help you avoid or minimize renewal struggles this year. For this reason, the Association has compiled this Renewal Resources Web page for our members.
