Charter Schools
Strengthening Monitoring and Process When Schools Close Could
Improve Accountability and Ease Student Transitions
GAO-06-73 This study examines the activities of two Washington D.C. charter school oversight bodies. The study looked at the Board of Education (BOE) and Public Charter School Board (PCSB) resources, oversight practices, and actions taken once a charter school closes. The GAO examined BOE and PCSB monitoring reports, revenue and expenditure documents, and closure procedures. GAO recommendations for BOE and PCSB include:
- Implementation of a risk-based oversight system to specifically monitor new and at-risk charter schools.
- Creation of routine data review processes for data collected by BOE Office of Charter Schools.
- Joint establishment of uniform school closure activities to include a system for secure transfer and
maintenance of student records.
