Utah State Charter School Board
It is the intent of the Utah State Charter School Board (SCSB) to establish processes that meet the duties and obligations that have been placed on it as an authorizer pursuant to 53G-5-205(2)(c) and to address such other matters that are deemed necessary to promote the purposes of the charter schools that it has authorized.
To ensure its obligations as a charter school authorizer are met, SCSB must answer the following fundamental questions for each school:
- Is the school academically successful?
- Is the school financially healthy?
- Is the school operationally sound?
To answer these questions, SCSB has developed performance frameworks that allow them to create and communicate a common set of performance expectations. The frameworks are intended to protect school autonomy, be objective, minimize administrative burdens and inform authorizer support. They focus on performance not compliance and are not intended to be punitive but instead provide a basis for an assessment that will lead to a conversation.
While charter schools have the autonomy to manage their finances, SCSB has created the Financial Performance Framework to determine if a school is financially viable and able to meet its promises to students, families and community. The Financial Performance Framework will be completed on a preliminary basis based upon the Utah Public Education Financial System (UPEFS) October 1st submission then finalized based upon the audited financial statements.
