The Renewal Toolkit

The Charter Renewal Toolkit is designed to support California authorizers in conducting rigorous, transparent, and legally sound renewal processes. This comprehensive resource provides step-by-step guidance, practical templates, and aligned evaluation criteria to help authorizers assess academic performance, fiscal health, and organizational effectiveness in accordance with California law and best practices in quality authorizing. Developed with input from experienced practitioners, the toolkit streamlines renewal workflows, promotes consistency across authorizing agencies, and strengthens decision-making grounded in evidence. Whether used as a full system or adapted to local context, the Charter Renewal Toolkit equips authorizers with the tools necessary to uphold accountability while supporting high-quality charter schools.
