Performance Framework: Resubmission
Reminder!
In
June, a correspondence regarding document submissions that did not meet
minimum requirements was shared with the Lead Administrator and Board
Chair as listed in EDDIE. Charter schools have been provided the
opportunity to correct submissions and upload the updated documents into the
SharePoint system from June to August.
Resubmission
of evidence(s) should be uploaded into the SharePoint system using the same
process as the original upload. All resubmitted documents will be reviewed
again to determine a final designation of either compliant or not
compliant. These documents must be submitted by Thursday, August 30,
2018 by 5:00 pm for review.
OCS
Consultants will review resubmitted documents on an on-going basis as they are
uploaded into SharePoint. Final correspondence for documents deemed Not
Compliant will be shared with school leaders and board chairs in the month
of September.
Here is a link to resources that may be referenced to ensure
that resubmitted evidence documents meet minimum requirements as written in
General Statute, State Board Policy, and the Charter Agreement.
Resources
include: charter agreement,
applicable SBE Policies, General Statute references, example Certificate of
Liability Insurance, and other example policies
Here is a link to Upload Instructions for SharePoint.

iPads provided through Read to Achieve funding
This week state Superintendent Mark Johnson publicly
announced that K-3 reading teachers across the state will receive iPads to use
for literacy support. The $6 million in funding comes from Read to Achieve
funds from the 2016-17 fiscal year.
Most charters with K-3
classrooms have received iPads through the purchase already. If your school
uses mCLASS or another diagnostic tool that feeds into the state EVAAS software
system and has not received iPads, please contact ocs@dpi.nc.gov to discuss.
If your school
meets the EVAAS requirement
https://mobile.ncleg.net/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/PDF/BySection/Chapter_115C/GS_115C-83.6.pdf
but does not support iPads and you need another device, you may contact ocs@dpi.nc.gov as well.
