Public Impact worked with the National Association of Charter School Authorizers on a series of publications specifically on “starting fresh” – the chartering and contracting options. The series includes A New Option for School District Leaders Under NCLB, which identifies the need for a new beginning at a school and describes the options of initiating a charter school or hiring an outside school manager, and Engaging Parents and the Community in Starting Fresh, which highlights strategies for bringing key stakeholders to the table.
