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.
Board members owe duties of care (informed decision-making), loyalty (no self-dealing), and obedience (consistent with the mission). The duties are distinct: a member can satisfy care while violating loyalty, or vice versa. Most board mistakes involve loyalty (related-party transactions without disclosure).
State attorneys general can pursue board members personally for breaches; D&O insurance typically covers care violations but excludes intentional loyalty breaches. Confusing the duties leaves members exposed without realizing it.
FERPA permits disclosure of "directory information" without consent if the institution has noticed students of the categories and the right to opt out. The defect: many institutions treat the categories as broad (full address, full schedule) when narrower defaults would meet operational needs. A student suing on a directory disclosure typically wins on overbreadth, not technical violation.
Tightening directory-information defaults is free, low-risk, and removes a category of avoidable complaints. Most institutions inherited their lists from a prior generation of administrators.
