What are my responsibilities as an authorizer related to the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB)?
Authorizers’ responsibilities related to NCLB are determined by state charter school law. To be specific, the non-regulatory guidance provided by the U.S. Department of Education states that: “…a State’s charter school law determines the entity within the State that bears responsibility for ensuring that charter schools comply with the Title I, Part A accountability provisions, including AYP. The charter authorizer is responsible for holding charter schools accountable for Title I, Part A provisions unless State law specifically gives the SEA direct responsibility for charter school accountability” (2003, p. 5) http://www.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/charterguidance03.pdf For general information about NCLB, see the U.S. Department of Education website at: http://www.ed.gov/nclb/landing.
