The CHARTER SCHOOL shall annually Meet Expectations on the FRAMEWORK. The FRAMEWORK shall supersede and replace any and all assessment measures, educational goals and objectives, financial operations metrics, and organizational performance metrics set forth in the Application and not explicitly incorporated into the FRAMEWORK. The specific terms, form and requirements of the FRAMEWORK, including any required indicators, measures, metrics, and targets, are determined by the AUTHORIZER and will be binding on the CHARTER SCHOOL. b. The AUTHORIZER shall monitor and periodically report on the CHARTER SCHOOL’s progress in relation to the indicators, measures, metrics and targets set out in the FRAMEWORK. Such reporting shall take place at least annually. c. The CHARTER SCHOOL’s performance in relation to the indicators, measures, metrics and targets set forth in the FRAMEWORK shall provide the basis upon which the AUTHORIZER will decide whether to renew the CHARTER SCHOOL at the end of the Charter term or upon the 5-year review. d. The Parties intend that, where this Charter references or is contingent upon state or federal accountability laws, that the CHARTER SCHOOL be bound by any applicable laws, or modification or amendments to such laws, upon the effective date of said laws, or any modifications or amendments thereto. The specific terms, form and requirements of the FRAMEWORK may be modified or amended to the extent required to align with changes to applicable state or federal accountability requirements, as set forth in law. In the event that any such modifications or amendments are required, the AUTHRIZER will use its best efforts to apply such expectations for charter school performance in a manner consistent with those set forth in the FRAMEWORK initially established in the Charter. e.
