MCPSC President re-caps Sponsor Evaluation Project in letter to State Board of Education members. Completion of this partnership resulted in revised regulations that now include best practices for sponsorship, an evaluation tool aligned to statute and regulations, and training of DESE staff.

Dear President Shields and State Board of Education,

Please find the attached letter on behalf of the Missouri Charter Public School Commission.  We thank you for the partnership of the Department, the Charter School office, other sponsors, and National Association of Charter School Authorizers (NACSA) in the development of the charter school sponsor evaluation.  We look forward to continued collaboration in delivering a high quality education for all Missouri students.

All the best,

Alicia Kotarba
