As required by Del. C., Title 14, Ch. 5 § 514, the Department prepares an annual report for the Governor, the General Assembly, and the State Board of Education on the success or failure of charter schools and propose changes in state law necessary to improve or change the charter school program. This report contains:  A comparison of the per student expenditures of charter schools, considering all sources of such expenditures, with those of other public schools;  recommendations relating to, and proposed changes relating to Delaware education laws, in light of the content of annual reports submitted pursuant to § 513 of this title; and,  the assessment of specific opportunities and barriers relating to the implementation of charter schools' innovations in the broader Delaware public education school system.

14 DE Admin. Code 275 further defines the requirements of this report to include an analysis of all charter schools in relationship to the Performance Framework.

General Charter School Information

There are currently twenty-five charter schools in Delaware. Twenty-three of these charter schools are authorized by the Department of Education with the assent of the State Board of Education and two charter schools are authorized by the Red Clay Consolidated School District. This list of current charter schools and the year that they opened is below.

*Please note that Prestige Academy will close on June 30, 2017

*There are no new charter schools opening for school years 2017-2018 or 2018-2019.

Charter School Enrollment

Charter schools are independent public schools designed and operated by educators, parents, community leaders, educational entrepreneurs and others. They are sponsored by designated local or state educational organizations, who monitor their quality and effectiveness but allow them to operate outside of the traditional system of public schools. Delaware has seen a 0.9% increase in students attending charter schools in comparison to those attending traditional public schools since the 2014-2015 school years.

140,000

120,000 Puplic Schools 100,000

There is a disparity over the last five years in the number of students enrolled in charters across the three counties due to the number of charter schools located in New Castle County. The number of students enrolled overall in charter schools has not varied greatly over the last three years. Similar to the enrollment by county, there have also been slight variances in demographics of charter schools that align with demographic trends in non‐charter schools. Data was reviewed in relationship to demographics which showed that both charter and non‐charter schools followed a similar enrollment trend over the last five school years.

Revenue and Expenditure Comparison

Annually the Department produces educational statistic reports. The tables below were produced as a part of the annual fiscal reporting completed by the Department of Education for 2014-2015 and can be found at http://www.doe.k12.de.us/Page/2879. The 2015-2016 report will not be available until March/April when fiscal monitoring is completed.

In school year (SY) 2014-2015 there were 25 charter schools servicing 12,251 students. Public charter school revenue is comprised of federal, state, and local dollars. There were slight differences in funding revenue from SY2013-2014 that seem to correspond with the increase in enrollement. In SY2013-2014, 11,078 students were enrolled in charter schools. In 2013-2014, charter school revenue equated to $7,625,443 in federal funds, $80,727,007 in state funds, and $44,406,722 in local funds. 1 The charts below provide a comparison of all state sources of educational revenue to charter school souces of revenue.

Charter School Performance Framework

Charter schools are evaluated annually for their academic, organizational, and financial performance using three separate performance frameworks.

On October 13, 2016, the State Board of Education approved revisions to the Charter School Organizational and Financial Performance Frameworks with the goal to:

 Clearly communicate standards and expectations to schools;  Conduct a transparent, consistent, and predictable oversight process;  Conduct an oversight process that is respectful of charter schools’ autonomy;  Focus on student outcomes; and  Provide evidenced-based feedback to schools and communities indicating where schools stand relative to performance framework expectations and standards.

These changes will not go into effect until SY2016-2017.

Included in this report is the summative data on for all charter schools from SY2014-2015 and SY2015-2016 for each of the performance frameworks as well as the individual measures included within the frameworks.

Academic Performance Data

Delaware School Success Framework (DSSF) is a component of the Performance Framework. The DSSF is a tool that provides a comprehensive summary of a school’s academic outcomes for the academic year just completed. The DSSF is a comprehensive accountability system that measures and publicly reports on multiple areas of school success.

The DSSF applies to all public schools, including charter schools and career technical schools that are subject to the calculation and reporting of AYP as prescribed by the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), 20 U.S. C.A. §6301 et seq. and 14 DE Admin. Code 103 Accountability for Schools, Districts and the State. The DSSF is an index made up of four metric areas that include:

1. Academic Achievement 2. Growth 3. On-Track-to-Graduation 4. College and Career Preparation

These four metric areas are comprised of nine individual elementary school (ES) and middle school (MS) metrics and eleven individual high school (HS) metrics. The metrics are:

1. Proficiency in English language arts (ELA), mathematics, science, and social studies 2. Growth in ELA and mathematics 3. Growth to proficiency in ELA and mathematics (ES and MS only) 4. Average daily attendance (ES and MS only) 5. On track in 9th grade (HS only) 6. Graduation rate for 4-, 5-, and 6-year cohort (HS only)

7. Successful participation in a college or career experience while in high school, such as Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), dual enrollment, and technical skill attainment (HS only)

Each of these metric areas are measured using a rating system of one (1) to five (5) stars. These ratings are defined below:

. 1 Star- Far Below Standard; . 2 Stars - Needs Improvement; . 3 Stars – Approaching Standard; . 4 Stars – Meets Standard, and; . 5 Stars – Exceeds Standard.

To acknowledge the performance of schools, the Department of Education presented to the State Board of Education a list of top ten schools in the state as measured by Smarter Balance Assessment Consortium (SBAC) and Delaware Comprehensive Assessment System (DCAS) in the following categories:

1. The highest performing schools in Grades 3-5 exceed the state average 2. Several schools are outpacing the state change in proficiency rate for Grades 3-5 3. The highest performing schools in Grades 6-8 exceed the state average 4. Several schools are outpacing the state change in proficiency rate for Grades 6-8

The following schools were highlighted for their performance as a part of this annual data presentation.

Charter Schools make up 11% of the accountability schools in the state of Delaware. Ten of the twenty-five charter schools were included on the list above in one or more categories. It is essential to note that due to school configuration (schools not servicing students in tested grades), small school status (schools where there were less than forty students in a cohort), and schools that were non-accountability schools (schools in their first year), not all charter schools received a DSSF rating.

The following charter schools received a DSSF rating for school years 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 and are included in this report for academics. All state authorized charter schools receive a report for Financial and Organizational Performance.

Schools not included in DSSF reporting because Schools With DSSF Reports they were schools in new configuration as defined by 14 DE Admin.

The 2014-2015 school year marked the beginning of Smarter Balanced testing, ESEA Flexibility, and the DSSF. The results comparison for all Delaware charter schools is below. This comparison includes the number of charter schools in each rating category for school years (SY) 2014-2015 and 2015-2016.

This chart above includes the data from a school that will close this year as well as data from two (2) charter schools that are measured for authorization using an Alternative Academic Performance Framework. The Alternative Academic Performance Framework is used to authorize public charter schools where 60% or more of students that they service have special needs. The data without these schools included is below.5

5 Note: Individual school and grade level results for all charter schools can be found in Appendix A.

Organizational Performance Framework

The second component of the Performance Framework is a tool that uses data from multiple DOE workgroups, other state agencies, and audited financial statements to provide a comprehensive summary of the charter school’s performance against compliance requirements for the academic year just completed. The purpose of the Organizational Performance Framework is to provide each charter school and the public a useful annual assessment of the school’s organizational soundness, public stewardship, and fulfillment of essential legal obligations. The Organizational Performance Framework reflects expectations the charter school is required to meet through state and federal law as well as the charter Performance Agreement with the state, and it seeks to provide information regarding these key questions:

 Is the school organizationally sound and well-run?  Is the school fulfilling its legal obligations, fiduciary duties, and offering sound public stewardship?  Is the school meeting its obligations and expectations for appropriate access, education, support services, and outcomes for students with disabilities and English learners?

As much as possible, the Organizational Performance Framework seeks to focus on:  Outcomes rather than process or input (except where the law dictates particular compliance processes or requirements);  Matters that are material or significant to a school’s organizational health and effectiveness; and  Measures that can be objectively judged or determined.

“Material” and “significant” mean that the authorizer deems the matter relevant to:  The authorizer’s accountability decisions, including but not limited to decisions about whether to renew, not renew, or revoke a charter; or  Information that a family would consider relevant when making a decision to attend the school.

For each measure, the school is able to earn a rating of “Meets Standard” or “Does Not Meet Standard”.

The Organizational Framework is divided into one overall category and six broad categories, or indicators. Within these indicators are individual measures or questions that assist in the determination of a school’s performance. The metrics are the means by which to evaluate the measure (or the information used to answer the question), and the targets are the thresholds set to determine whether a school is meeting the standard.

Note: Revisions to the Organizational Performance Framework were made in October of 2016. These changes will go into effect for the 2017-2018 annual report.

This indicator is measured to ascertain if charter schools are adhering to laws related to the school’s physical plant and the health and safety of students and the charter community.

Financial Performance Framework

Charter schools have the autonomy to manage their finances consistent with state and federal law; however, authorizers must ensure that the schools they authorize are financially stable. Authorizers, by renewing or not renewing a charter school, determine whether that school is not only academically and operationally sound, but also financially viable. The Financial Performance Framework gauges both near term financial health and longer term financial sustainability.

The purpose of the Financial Performance Framework is to provide key data to assess the financial health and viability of charter schools and to determine whether deeper analysis or monitoring is required. Through a set of eight interconnected metrics, the Financial Framework analyzes the current state of charter schools while taking into account the school’s financial trends over the period of three years. The measures are designed to be complementary and together, they provide a lens into a school’s near-term financial situation, historic trends, and future viability.

The Financial Performance Framework is divided into one overall category, two broad indicators each of which has four measures. Within these indicators are individual measures or questions that assist in the determination of a school’s performance. The metrics are the means by which to evaluate the measure (or the information used to answer the question), and the targets are the thresholds set to determine whether a school is meeting the standard. These Indicators and Measures include the following:

Indicators and Measures:

1. Near-Term Indicators a. Current Ratio b. Unrestricted Days Cash c. Enrollment Variance d. Default 2. Sustainability Indicators a. Total Margin b. Debt to Asset Ratio c. Cash Flow d. Debt Service Coverage Ratio For each measure, the school is able to earn a rating of “Meets Standard”, “Does Not Meet Standard”, or “Falls Far Below Standard.

Note: Revisions to the Financial Performance Framework were made in October of 2016. These changes will go into effect for the 2017-2018 annual report.

2015-2016 Near-Term Indicators

The Near Term Indicators include four measures including current ratio, unrestricted days cash, enrollment variance, and default. The current ratio depicts the relationship between a school’s current assets and current liabilities. The unrestricted days cash on hand ratio indicates how many days a school can pay its expenses without another inflow of cash. Enrollment variance tells authorizers whether or not the school is meeting its authorized enrollment, thereby generating sufficient revenue to fund ongoing operations. Debt default indicates if a school is not meeting debt obligations or covenants.

2015-2016 Sustainability Indicators

The Sustainability Indicators include four measures including total margin, debt to asset ratio, cash flow, and debt service coverage ratio. Total margin measures the deficit or surplus a school yields out of its total revenues; in other words, whether or not the school is living within its available resources. The debt to asset ratio measures the amount of liabilities a school owes versus the assets they own; in other words, it measures the extent to which the school relies on borrowed funds to finance its operations. The cash flow measure indicates a school’s change in cash balance from one period to another. The debt service coverage ratio indicates a school’s ability to cover its debt obligations in the current year.

Note: In 2011 Total Margin and Cash Flow were NOT assessed. These Indicators were not assessed until the 2012- 2013 school year.

Innovation and Collaboration

Charter school collaboration exists within and among charter schools, community stakeholders, and traditional public school districts. The Delaware Charter Schools Network presented to the State Board of Education in September highlighting a number of these collaborations and can be found at https://simbli.eboardsolutions.com/Meetings/ViewMeetingOrder.aspx?S=190001&MID=822.

Each charter school highlights their innovative practices as a part of their annual reports that can be found at http://www.doe.k12.de.us/page/2654. Some of these practices include:

1. Academy of Dover: Summer enrichment camp for remediation and community engagement 2. Academia Antonio Alonso Charter School: Expeditionary Learning and Spanish Bilingual Immersion Education 3. Campus Community: Constructivist approach to learning and teaching 4. Charter School of Wilmington: STEM 5.

The Charter School Office began highlighting the innovative practices of the charter schools as well as their collaboration with community stakeholders and other public schools in October. The 2016 charter school highlights included:

October: In 2012, Nemours KidsHealth.org created the health unit titled, “Navigating the Health Care System” with the goal of encouraging students to be their own health care advocates while building the necessary skills to navigate the health care system. This unit was piloted in 14 Delaware high schools.

Katie Marianiello, a health and physical education teacher at Newark Charter School, was an original pilot teacher for the “Navigating the Health Care System” unit and was named to the program's Advisory Board. Understanding the importance of children being their own health care advocates, Katie received the go-ahead from Nemours in 2014-2015 to change the delivery of the health unit. Katie turned the curriculum into a more robust common core aligned unit by redeveloping the Power Points, activities, teacher's guide and videos for the entire unit.

Katie’s redesigned unit is being utilized this year at Delaware’s: • 14 pilot high schools; • New schools including St. George's, A.I. DuPont, William Penn, Laurel, Woodbridge, Concord and DelCastle; • And in several high schools in Illinois, Wisconsin, Texas and California!

November: Great Oaks Tutor Corps

• The 2016-17 Great Oaks Charter School Wilmington Tutor Corps is comprised of 60 recent college graduates, hailing from 32 states and 2 countries. Combined, they represent over 25 colleges universities, and speak 13 languages. • All students receive 2 hours of free tutoring daily in the subjects of ELA and Math. Tutorial is a time where students can reinforce the prerequisite skills necessary for the content they are working on in the classroom setting. • Data is collected on an ongoing basis in order to create individualized and targeted action plans for each student that are implemented both in the classroom and tutorial. • GOWIL has partnered with the Relay Graduate School of Education to implement a teacher residency program that provides certification and a Master’s degree, while gradually releasing classroom responsibility to aspiring teachers over two years.

December: Collaboration of multiple charter schools

Kuumba Academy, First State Montessori Academy, Family Foundations Academy, East Side Charter School, Thomas Edison Charter School, and Prestige Academy have worked together for the last four weeks to support the Prestige Academy students, families, and staff to transition through the final year of school. This collaboration included technology, transportation, and scheduling support.

Policy Recommendations

There are currently policy recommendations that came out of the Strategic Planning Committee for Educational Opportunities. These recommendations can be found in Strategic Plan for Educational Opportunities Report.

There have been several recommendations to review the dates surrounding the Choice window to ensure all families have reasonable opportunities for participating in school choice.

There are also recommendations for changes to Regulation 275. The changes are:

9.8 Major modifications, include the word ‘add’ to 9.8.1.1 and 9.4.3. We also recommend that First Instructional Day be discussed and potentially stricken from the regulation. Should a charter school determine that the education management organization is not best suited or able to meet the terms of the agreement, it is not in the nest interest of the school or the taxpayer to enforce that contract without a process by which to make the modification. 9.8.1 A major modification is any proposed change to a charter, including proposed changes to any condition placed on the charter, which would:

9.8.1.1 Replace, add, remove or permit the school to operate with or without an educational management organization providing administrative, managerial or instructional staff or services to the charter school at any time on or after the First Instructional Day that was not included in the approved charter; or

9.4.3 An application to replace, add, remove or permit the school to operate with or without an educational management organization providing administrative, managerial or instructional staff or services to the charter holder at any time before the First Instructional Day that was not included in the approved charter.
