This document addresses common issues that authorizers face in closing a charter school and provides some practical policy approaches that one authorizer, the New Jersey Department of Education, has incorporated into its school closure protocol and practices. The author advises authorizers to contemplate and plan for the possibility of a charter school’s dissolution. School dissolution plans should spell out how to transfer student records, administer personnel records, fulfill contractual obligations, liquidate assets, assess and satisfy outstanding liabilities, dissolve the board, and transition students and staff, as well as how to deal with several other issues. [NACSA’s Online Authorizer Resource Library (http://www.charterauthorizers.org/pubnacsa/library) contains a number of resources used by authorizers across the country in implementing charter school closures.]
