The Mississippi Charter School Authorizer Board (MCSAB or Board) has the responsibility of making sure charter schools provide an excellent education for Mississippi public school students. The Board also acknowledges that charter schools need independence in order to develop and apply the policies and educational strategies that maximize their effectiveness. The Mississippi Charter School Performance Framework (Performance Framework) balances these two considerations as the primary accountability mechanism for all charter schools authorized by the MCSAB.
The MCSAB is accountable for implementing a rigorous and fair oversight process that respects the autonomy that is vital to charter school success. The Performance Framework helps the Board fulfill this responsibility by providing:
* Clear standards and expectations for schools
* A transparent, consistent oversight process that is respectful of school autonomy
* A focus on student outcomes and not on inputs
