Critical documents leading to development of school goals:

• Mission and vision statements
• Board policy manual
• Charter application
  • Purpose
  • Educational need (area)
  • Education plan
  • Governance plan
  • Financial plan

School performance documents:

• Student performance data:
  • summative and disaggregated data
  • new student growth vs. returning population
• Financial audits
• Enrollment trends (applicants, enrollment vs. no-shows, race, economic status) and withdrawals (both during and after the year)
• Any data that yields an objective measure of some aspect of student performance

School performance evaluation documents should be adopted into board policy.
