Drawing on discussions from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Innovation and Improvement National Charter School Policy Forum -- which gathered nearly 100 leaders from throughout the public charter school sector -- this report summarizes the Department's vision of the future of the public charter school movement and what needs to happen to achieve that vision. The Department envisions a public charter school sector where public charters achieve excellence early in their operations, improve their performance year in and year out, achieve consistently strong results that can expand and replicate, and where public charters strengthen all corners of public education by sharing successful practices and fostering choice and competition among schools. The vision also includes authorizers who would address chronic underperformance by closing the school and opening superior options swiftly and an improvement infrastructure that grows in its capacity to intervene in low-performing public charter schools.
