A Little Rock, Arkansas, performance - pay program lasted only three years and was not
renewed by the local school board, despite evidence of positive effects on student achievement in math, reading, and language.
If it is not
renewed by the Legislature, the city would return to the old
Board of Education system governed
by local school boards rather than a centralized authority.
The
board shall develop procedures and guidelines for revocation and renewal of a
school's charter; provided, however, that a charter for a Horace Mann charter
school shall not be
renewed by the
board without a majority vote of the
school committee and
local collective bargaining unit in the district where said charter
school is located; provided, however, that a commonwealth charter shall not be
renewed unless the
board of trustees of the charter
school has documented in a manner approved
by the
board that said commonwealth charter
school has provided models for replication and best practices to the commissioner and to other public
schools in the district where the charter
school is located.
