Look out. "In order to accommodate Washington’s authorizing timeline and still allow Washington public charter school developers to apply, staff from the Office of Innovation and Improvement issued this statement late last week: In order for Washington developers to apply, each applicant must request, in the body of their application, to waive Section 5203(d)(3) of the ESEA, which requires each “eligible applicant” to provide its authorized public chartering authority with adequate and timely notice, and a copy, of its public charter school application. The waiver request must be accompanied by a description of the potential authorizers, and a timeline for the charter application process. According to grant guidelines, successful grant applications must describe how the school will improve the achievement and high school graduation rates in high-poverty schools. Serving rural students, ELL students, and special education students is of particular interest, as well as promoting racial diversity and supporting military families. Parent involvement is also an important component."
