Attendees will engage with school leaders who have successfully navigated multiple charter renewals across several authorizers to review their school's current performance data against the AB 1505 criteria for low, middle and high performing tracks. Participants will then engage in analyzing the current results to plot a path to renewal that will put them in the high performing track for the upcoming charter renewal year.
