CHARTER SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT

What is a charter school?

A charter school is a new form of public school that may be started and operated by individuals or organizations from outside of the traditional school district system. Successful charter school developers are granted a charter to operate a public school for a fixed period of time. Charter schools are generally exempt from most laws that apply to regular public schools, so administrators, faculty, staff and parents have considerable autonomy in designing an educational program, facilities and budget that meet the needs of their students.

How can IEG help in developing your Charter School?

Starting a charter school requires a considerable amount of planning time prior to opening the school doors. Successful charter school developers spend one to two years planning the school's educational program, facilities, finance, governance and operations, personnel, and other issues. The Intercultural Education Group (IEG) offers several resources for charter school developers. Intercultural Education Group (IEG) endeavors to provide the support future and current charter schools need to be successful. IEG will answer charter school questions, train those that work with charter schools, or more actively support clients through consulting services.

Charter School Application

IEG will assist in preparing standard charter application in accordance with sponsor’s requirements. This service is not limited to Florida, but available to interested persons from other states.

An agreement to assist with the preparation and start work must take place 6 months before application is due to the district.

 

Charter School Management

About 10% to 12% of charter schools use educational management / consulting groups as Intercultural Education Group (IEG). States have authorized charter schools and given a role to charter school management / consulting groups because they want to improve education. These groups are governed by their contracts and by state laws and regulations. The founders of such groups are often former superintendents, school board staff, principals, and teachers who are invested in high student performance and have the experience to facilitate school success.

The services offered by Intercultural Education Group (IEG) include but are not limited to:

• obtaining financing for a facility and assisting in the coordination of its construction or renovation;
• recruiting, hiring, and training the instructional staff
• providing ongoing professional development
• marketing the school
• coordinating student enrollment
• implementing a curriculum
• formally assessing its success
• sourcing furniture, fixtures, equipment, and technology services
• providing financial management services
• acting as a liaison between the governing board of the school and the chartering authority in matters of charter compliance, amendment, and renewal
• overseeing the day-to-day operation of the school
• writing grant proposals on behalf of the school.

As schools of choice continue to develop, educational management/consulting services may begin to play a stronger role in public education.
