Decisions by the Authorizer regarding amendment, renewal, or revocation of this Agreement shall be based upon applicable laws, rules, policies, this Agreement, and/or the academic, organizational, and financial Performance Frameworks (the “Performance Frameworks”) incorporated into this Agreement as Exhibit 2, as well as the Authorizer’s Intervention Policy. The Authorizer shall have broad oversight authority over the Charter School and may take all reasonable steps necessary to oversee compliance with this Agreement and applicable laws, rules, and policies. This oversight authority includes, but is not limited to, the right to visit, examine, and inspect the Charter School and its records during the pre-opening year, during the annual monitoring visit, and to investigate a complaint (notice including a statement of the complaint shall be given to the Charter School, unless in the judgment of the Authorizer such notice would inhibit the Authorizer’s ability to investigate the complaint. Information that may identify the complainant may be redacted if deemed necessary by the Authorizer). Upon reasonable notice, the Authorizer may interview Charter School employees, Board members, students, and families as necessary to resolve complaints and grievances. With respect to complaints and grievances, additional information is contained in Section 8.2. The Authorizer shall provide in writing to the Charter School no later than July 1 of each school year a Master Reporting Calendar which will set out key deadlines for the Charter School to provide certain information and reports. Additionally, at least thirty (30) days prior to any site visit, the Authorizer shall provide the Charter School with a written list of any required documentation and/or specified actions for the site visit. The Parties agree that the most critical performance measures contained in the Performance Frameworks are the academic measures, which may include student achievement, student growth measures (including annual measurable objectives), readiness for successive school levels (middle, high, or post-secondary) and employment, as well as mission-specific academic goals defined in the Performance Frameworks. For the purposes of accountability, renewal, and/or revocation evaluation, the Performance Frameworks supersede all assessment measures, educational goals and objectives, financial operations metrics, and organizational performance metrics set forth in the Charter School’s Application and not explicitly incorporated into the Performance Frameworks. However, this shall not prevent the Authorizer from holding the Charter School accountable for any goals contained in the Charter School’s Application that do not conflict with Performance Frameworks for purposes of accountability, renewal, and/or revocation evaluation. The specific terms, form and requirements of the Performance Frameworks are maintained and disseminated by the Authorizer and shall be binding on the Charter School. The Authorizer shall—at least annually—monitor and report on the Charter School’s progress in relation to the indicators, measures, metrics, and targets set out in the Performance Frameworks, as well as compliance with federal and state laws and regulations, and when required by the Performance Frameworks and such laws and regulations. The Authorizer will conduct an annual scheduled comprehensive site visit each year, which will be used to inform the interim review done at Charter School’s progress on the end of the fifth yearPerformance Frameworks. The Authorizer shall conduct an interim review at the end of the fifth year after the effective date of opening of the Charter School for instructionAgreement, pursuant to T.C.A. § 00-00-000. Changes to the Performance Frameworks to align with changes to applicable state or federal accountability requirements shall apply to the Charter School. In the event of such changes, the Authorizer will use best efforts to apply expectations for school performance in a manner consistent with those set forth in the Performance Frameworks as initially established in the most recent charter agreement. Changes to the Performance Frameworks that are not required by state or federal law or accountability requirements will not become binding upon the Charter School without the Charter School’s consent, except at the time of charter renewal or amendment.
