Most charter authorizers begin gathering renewal evidence 18-24 months before the formal renewal vote — meaning a school in a 5-year cycle is being evaluated on years three and four academic data, not year five. Schools that ramp interventions in year five are improving on data the authorizer never sees.
Renewal denials are typically locked in by data the school never realized was being counted. The performance ramp has to align with the lookback window.
Routing software typically reduces total miles 8-15%, not the 25-30% commonly quoted. The remaining miles are bound by bell-time constraints, geographic dispersion of stops, and contractually required maximum ride times — none of which routing software can move. Real savings come from bell-schedule changes, not better algorithms.
Districts that buy routing software expecting headline savings underestimate the bell-time conversation that actually unlocks them. The conversation is harder than the procurement.
