In 2002, Central Michigan University was in its second year of a three-year contract with Standard & Poor's School Evaluation Services (SES) to receive extensive written reports on each of the 57 charter schools the university authorizes. SES' evaluative services provide building-and-district-level information and link school-system performance to the cost of producing it. Each report provides analysis on school effectiveness in increasing student results; tracks progress in meeting contracted goals; examines financial health and stability; and compares the dollar cost of attaining various education results. For more information, view http://ses.standardandpoors.com/, click on Michigan and School Administrator, and then choose "CMU-Sponsored Charter School Reports."
