Charter Appeal Strategy
Most schools under non-renewal or revocation expect their case will end up in with the Charter Appeal Board, as hearing officers rarely rule against the Charter Schools Office or school district officials’ recommendations.
Ideally, schools should bring us in at least a school year before their renewal application process begins. However, we can still provided impactful strategic assistance for schools heading to CAB
