11/8/12 - Charter School Requirements and Timeline for Submitting Staff Evaluation Rating Data for the 2011-12 School Year
(56 KB) - 10/31/12 - Because the damage due to Hurricane Sandy in many part of New York State is even more extensive than previously anticipated, the deadline for the submission of the Progress Toward Charter Goals and Independent Financial Audit components of the Annual Report to SED's Charter School Office (via https://nysed-cso.myreviewroom.com) has now been extended to 5:00 p.m., Tuesday, November 13, 2012. This deadline extension has been confirmed with the other NYS charter school authorizers for submissions previously due to them on Nov. 1. We may consider additional extensions for affected areas once the full extent of the damage is determined. Thank you.
