The first Tri-State/CACSA Weekly Call, May 7th, focused on how authorizers are managing schools that had planned to open next fall (Year Zero schools). This same approach to Year Zero also applies to expansion and replication schools. Starting a new charter school is always full of challenges, but with the COVID crisis new schools face extra obstacles including:
- Building and renovation delays;
- Unpredictable enrollment;
- Potential budget cuts; and
- Uncertainty about the need for distance learning in the fall.
