THE OFFICE OF CHARTER SCHOOLS IS COMMITTED TO TRANSPARENCY

Authorizing, Oversight, Renewal

Margret Spelling, Former U.S. Secretary of Education:

"[Authorizers] are responsible for approving new schools, monitoring schools' compliance with applicable laws, providing technical assistance, and evaluating school's performance.  As such, authorizers are in a powerful position to close ineffective schools and champion the successful ones so that they can serve as models to others."
