This re-released/reprinted guide is designed to help charter school boards structure stable, productive relationships with school management organizations. It identifies key issues, highlights options, and presents questions to consider in areas such as: understanding the landscape of educational contracting; clearly defining roles and responsibilities; establishing clear guidelines for the contract and relationship; carefully structuring the evaluation of performance; creating a clear understanding regarding the management organization's compensation and the school's financial affairs; and making clear the ownership of physical and intellectual property.
