Title 49 - Education
Chapter 13 - Tennessee Public Charter Schools Act of 2002
§ 49-13-143. Performance framework.
(a) The performance-related provisions within a charter agreement shall be based on a performance framework that clearly sets forth the academic and operational performance indicators, measures, and metrics that will guide the authorizer's evaluation of each public charter school. The department of education shall develop a model performance framework that includes, at a minimum, student academic performance, achievement gaps between major student subgroups, postsecondary readiness, and financial performance and sustainability.
(b) Chartering authorities may develop and adopt a performance framework for all schools authorized for operation, including both charter and non-charter public schools. If a chartering authority has not adopted a performance framework for all of its schools, it must adopt the model performance framework developed by the department for its charter schools.
