Operators Primer and Training Presentations

This primer is for charter school operators and has been developed to provide background information and resources for the “builders” of charter schools to facilitate the successful inclusion of students with disabilities in charter schools. The primer opens with a general background on legal issues and responsibility for special education in charter schools. The main sections then follow the “stages or phases of life” of a charter school, including Pre-Authorization; Preparing for Start-Up; Operating a Charter School; Accountability and Renewal; and Non-Renewal, Revocation and Relinquishment.
