This guidebook is focused on board members and leaders in new Massachusetts charter schools, but much of the information provided could be useful to charter school governing boards in other states. The document provides school leaders with information on hiring, evaluation, and professional development of faculty, and presents guidance to ensure that charter schools have the processes in place to perform due diligence in the responsible management of the school's fiscal affairs. The handbook also identifies sources of additional information that may be useful to new charter schools as they grow from proposal to implementation.
