NC Education Code · Regulation
Title 16 — root / Chapter 06 — 16 NCAC 06G .0515
Plain English summary
This regulation establishes accountability rules for networks of charter schools seeking fast track replication. Each school in a network is treated as a separate entity for academic, financial, and operational assessment, though the overall network's performance may influence whether fast track replication is approved. Replicated charter schools are held to the same standards as all other charter schools.
Key requirements
- Each school within a network of schools operated by a single non-profit corporation board or a single EMO or CMO is a separate and distinct charter school and shall be assessed based upon its own separate academic, financial, and operational performance.
- The strengths or weaknesses of other schools are not factors in determining whether the State Board of Education shall take action against an individual school.
- The strengths and weaknesses of all schools in a network may influence the SBE's decision regarding whether or not to allow fast track replication of a school in that network.
- Replicated charter schools shall be subject to the same requirements as other charter schools.
