47. Lessons Learned

48. Attending training (and paying attention) will save you time in the long run Make sure your vendor software is up-to-date Verify your code sets every year Train your staff every year Review changes, common problems, shortcuts, & critical dates

49. Lessons Learned, cont. Keeping your data updated in CALPADS throughout the year will save you frustration (and extra data submissions) Things go wrong There are many single points of failure You may need a contingency plan CALPADS may not be available for last minute processing It may not even be your mistake

50. Lessons Learned, cont. Small changes can have a big impact If you have to do a lot of data reconciliations for start date mismatches – you need to find out why and fix it Same thing for anomalies Sometimes it is the system’s fault

51. Best Practices

52. Successful Charter Practices Recognize that required reporting is an organizational effort, not an IT effort Have a functioning data management team Comprised of key staff members and data stewards Meet regularly to review requirements, timelines, responsibilities, status Establish, implement and refine local data management processes Have administrative support for data management

53. Successful Charter Practices, cont. Designate data stewards Data stewards are responsible for specific types or data and/or data elements, i.e. HR, special ed Identify system of record for data elements Coordinate systems implementation and synchronization Participate in training opportunities Provide staff development for all involved in data collection, reporting and analysis Connect data with its use and impact on the LEA

54. Successful Charter Practices, cont. Establish a support structure Develop documentation and other support tools Customize and/or supplement vendor documentation Establish a yearly data management calendar Leverage software Reduce redundancies by linking data systems Limit entries to valid codes Require fields needed for reporting Use built-in help features Review forms to align with software

55. Successful Charter Practices, cont. Have a good understanding of data and requirements Know their data (and know when it’s wrong) Don't need to make assumptions or guess at the right answers Audit data regularly Analyze problems and make adjustments Continuous improvement process Have a backup plan Cross-train staff Take advantage of available resources

56. Successful Charter Practices, cont. Keep data up to date throughout the year Stay informed about changes Participate in training Review certification reports early in submission cycle Know how to use resources Develop sign-off procedures prior to certification Hold post-submission reviews

74. Authorizing Agency Requirements Ed Code 47604.32 Each chartering authority, in addition to any other duties imposed by this part, shall do all of the following with respect to each charter school under its authority: (a) Identify at least one staff member as a contact person for the charter school. (b) Visit each charter school at least annually. (c) Ensure that each charter school under its authority complies with all reports required of charter schools by law. (d) Monitor the fiscal condition of each charter school under its authority.

75. Authorizing Agency Requirements, cont. Ed Code 47604.32 (cont.) Each chartering authority, in addition to any other duties imposed by this part, shall do all of the following with respect to each charter school under its authority: (e) Provide timely notification to the department if any of the following circumstances occur or will occur with regard to a charter school for which it is the chartering authority: (1) A renewal of the charter is granted or denied. (2) The charter is revoked. (3) The charter school will cease operation for any reason. (f) The cost of performing the duties required by this section shall be funded with supervisorial oversight fees collected pursuant to Section 47613.

76. Authorizing Agency Requirements, cont. If the charter school does not complete the CALPADS closure requirements, the authorizing agency must: – Request an LEA admin account for the charter. – Exit all students in CALPADS. – For charters that closed after the Fall 1 information day and prior to March 1 st, Fall 1, Fall 2, and end-of-year 1-4 certifications must be completed for the current school year. – For charters that closed at the end of the school year, Fall 1, Fall 2, Spring 1, and end-of-year 1-4 certifications must be completed for the current school year.

77. Authorizing Agency Requirements, cont. If the charter school does not complete the CALPADS closure requirements, the authorizing agency must: – For charters serving grades 7-12, Fall 1 certification for the following year must be completed to verify graduates/dropouts. – Any CCEs or MIDs that are impacting the Fall 1 certification status of another LEA must be corrected.

78. Authorizing Agency Requirements, cont. If the authorizing agency does not complete the closure requirements, the state will act as follows: – Exit all students in CALPADS with an E400 (OtherNoKnownEnrollment) exit* – Complete Fall 1, Fall 2, Spring 1, and End-of-Year 1-4 certifications for the current year based on whatever data is in CALPADS *This may affect the authorizing agency’s counts in DataQuest by: increasing number of dropouts decreasing number of graduates

79. Authorizing Agency Requirements, cont. If the authorizing agency does not complete the closure requirements, the state will act as follows: Correct any CCEs or MIDs that are impacting the Fall 1 certification status of another. For charters serving grades 7-12, Fall 1 certification for the following year will be completed based on whatever data is in CALPADS to verify graduates/dropouts.

80. Authorizing Agency Requirements, cont. If the charter school is an reauthorization conversion charter with a new school code and does not complete the closure requirements, the authorizing agency must: – Request an LEA admin account for the charter. – All students must be exited correctly in CALPADS. – For charters serving grades 7-12, Fall 1 certification for the following year must be completed to verify graduates/dropouts. – Any CCEs or MIDs that are impacting the Fall 1 certification status of another LEA must be corrected.

81. Authorizing Agency Requirements, cont. If the authorizing agency does not complete the Reauthorization conversion requirements, the state will act as follows: – For charters serving grades 7-12, Fall 1 certification for the following year will be completed based on whatever data is in CALPADS to verify graduates/dropouts. – Correct any CCEs or MIDs that are impacting the Fall 1 certification status of another.

82. Best Practices To avoid these issues, authorizing agencies and charters should: – Incorporate how the charter will meet state reporting requirements in the charter petition and review process. – Establish and maintain a positive relationship, with clear communications. – Monitor reporting progress and provide support if needed. – Establish a closure and reauthorization conversion policy with clearly defined tasks to be completed.

83. Key Points All charters are required by law to meet state and federal reporting requirements. Failing to meet reporting requirements will have consequences, including potential funding cuts and revocation or nonrenewal of the school’s charter. Authorizing agencies are required by law to ensure that their charters meet state reporting requirements. When a charter closes or is a reauthorization conversion charter, there are certain reporting requirements that must be met.

84. Key Points, cont. All charters or the authorizing agency must complete the reporting requirements when the charter closes, becomes a reauthorization conversion charter, or becomes inactive. Failing to meet the closure reporting requirements can have a negative impact on the authorizing agency. Authorizing agencies and charters should work together to ensure that their charters meet state reporting requirements.
