Renewal visits. In the fall of the renewal year, the PEC’s authorized representatives visit schools as part of renewal activities. Two to four staff members who are the PEC’s authorized representatives will participate in site visits. Site visits generally do not last longer than a day, but the time required depends on school performance and availability of necessary data, records, and staff time. Schools will be notified in advance as to the timing of site visits. Appendix D: Glossary of Terms Annual Notice of Renewal Profile – is an annual notice that will be sent to the school leader and all members of the school governing body. The notice will identify the renewal profile(s) the school is on track to fall within based on its performance under the current charter term. The PEC expects that schools will use these notices to both take action to respond to the potential renewal action by improving performance, as necessary, and to prepare and submit a response to the potential renewal action. Chartering Authority Intervention – is action taken by the Commission or its authorized representatives to notify a school that it is failing to meet its legal and contractual requirements, to prompt the school to take action to correct its own failure to meet its legal and contractual requirements, and/or to revoke or non-renew a school that has demonstrated the inability or unwillingness to meet its legal and contractual requirements. Intervention may include providing findings of non-compliance during or after a site visit, issuing a Notice of Concern, a Notice of Breach, or a Notice of Revocation Review or Intent to Revoke, monitoring the implementation of an improvement plan or corrective action plan, or not-renewing a charter school. Chartering Authority Oversight – is action taken by the Commission or its authorized representatives to evaluate whether a charter school is meeting its legal and contractual requirements. This may include evaluating submissions from the school, investigating complaints or allegations, conducting site visits or audits, evaluating data about the school’s performance, or completing performance evaluations. Charter School Autonomy – is the right of all charter schools to determine the methods by which they achieve their legal and contractual requirements, including all performance standards. Charter School Autonomy reflects the additional flexibilities granted through any non-discretionary or discretionary waivers as defined in statute, regulation, and policy. Intervention Ladder – is the process by which the Public Education Commission will communicate to charter schools its concerns about academic performance, fiscal soundness or legal, contractual, or policy requirements. Final Notice of Renewal Profile – is the notice provided to the school after the final performance profile prior to renewal is released. This notice will identify the renewal recommendation the school will receive and will notify any schools of their eligibility for expedited renewals. Legal and Contractual Requirements – are the obligations a charter school must meet based on state and federal statutes, regulations and policies, and the terms of the charter contract. These requirements include the performance expectations established in the Performance Review and Accountability System, which consists of the PEC’s Academic, Organizational and Financial Performance Frameworks, Intervention Ladder, Renewal Process, and Site Visit Protocols. Mission-Specific Goals – are required indicators that are incorporated into the Academic Performance Framework. These goals should by outcome based measures of the school’s effectiveness in implementing its mission. Goals are weighted as 35% (elem/middle) or 37.5% (high) of the Academic Performance Framework Notice of Breach – a formal, written notice issued pursuant to a vote of a majority of Commission members at a properly noticed public meeting that a school is not meeting performance expectations or has failed to comply with legal or contractual requirements and, as a result, is in breach of the contract. This notice will often, but not always, be issued after a school has been issued a Notice of Concern and has failed to meet the requirements of the prior notice. In the notice, the Commission will establish expected outcomes and deadlines that must be met by the school. Deadlines will vary depending on the urgency of the matter and the amount of time it takes to reasonably cure the concern. Once a Notice of Breach is issued, schools are required to submit a Corrective Action Plan (financial or organizational performance) or an Improvement Plan (academic performance) that details the actions and timeline that the schools will implement to correct the breach. PEC’s authorized representatives will monitor the school’s implementation of Corrective Action and Improvement Plans, and regularly update PEC on progress.

Performance Review and Accountability System – consists of the PEC’s Academic, Organizational and Financial Performance Frameworks, Intervention Ladder, Renewal Process, and Site Visit Protocols. It is an adaptive tool subject to continuous review and improvement so that the students in New Mexico public charter schools are effectively served. New Mexico’s charter schools are invited to be partners in the development and continuous improvement of this Performance Review and Accountability System. Preliminary Notification of Renewal Profile – is the annual notice provided to the school at least one year prior to the date on which it must apply for renewal. The notice will identify the renewal profile(s) the school is on track to fall within based on its performance under the current charter term and will act as notice to schools that are likely to be eligible for expedited renewal. The PEC expects that schools will use these notices to both take action to respond to the potential renewal action by improving performance, as necessary, and to prepare and submit a response to the potential renewal action. Reliability - is a demonstration that an assessment or other measure is an externally, national- or state- normed metric (e.g. ACT, SAT, ACCESS for XXXx, Spanish IPT). Mission-specific goals that are reliable shall be granted an additional five points of weight in the Academic Performance Framework. The additional weight will be taken from all other measures equally. Revocation Review – is the process by which a charter school is considered for revocation of their charter. The revocation review can arise as a result of the school’s failure to meet requirements specified in a Notice of Breach, receipt of multiple Notices of Breach in the same school year, or as a result of a violation of law that is significant enough to justify immediate revocation. A Notice of Revocation Review is issued at a properly noticed public meeting and established the actions to be taken by its authorized representative(s) and a deadline for the school to respond to the prospect of revocation. Rigor – is the demonstration that a performance goal is an ambitious but realistic target that has been established using a valid benchmark (e.g. comparison to national/state average, improvement from school historic performance). Mission-specific goals that are rigorous shall be granted an additional five points of weight in the Academic Performance Framework. The additional weight will be taken from all other measures equally. Student Academic Growth – is the measurement of student level improvement within a school years as compared to their performance peers’ improvement in the same year on the state’s annual academic assessments in math and reading. Student Proficiency – is performance at grade level on the state’s annual academic assessments in math and reading. This may also include performance at grade level on other state assessments including Science, and end-of-course assessments. Substantial Progress – is related only to academic performance, is reflected in a school’s “Renewal Performance Profile,” and makes a school eligible for full renewal. This is defined as “consistently improving performance over the last 3 years.” Inconsistent performance over the last three years shall demonstrate that a school is not making “substantial progress.” Support – is making charter schools aware of PED resources and programs available to support their improvement or excellent performance. This may also include sharing information between charter schools about effective or best practices being implemented at effective and successful schools. This shall not include providing recommendations on the method by which the school must/can/should achieve its legal or contractual requirements, as charter schools are granted the autonomy to determine the methods they will utilize to meet their legal or contractual requirements.
