Meet or make substantial progress toward achievement of the Department's standards of excellence or the performance standards identified in the Academic Performance Framework as adopted and modified periodically by the Commission.

If the School does not meet the performance standards in the Performance Framework, it shall “make substantial progress” toward achievement of those standards as it is defined in the Commission’s Accountability Plan included in Attachment B. Failure to meet or make substantial progress toward meeting the performance standards shall be sufficient justification to revoke or non-renew the School’s Charter. The Commission is not required to allow the school the opportunity to remedy the problem if unsatisfactory review warrants revocation. Organizational Performance Indicators and Evaluation: The School shall: Comply with applicable federal, state and local rules, regulations and statutes relating to public education unless the School is specifically exempted from the provision of law.
