Introduction The School Board of Brevard County, Florida (School Board), as the Sponsor of all charter schools within Brevard County, is committed to authorizing new and innovative charter schools that provide high-quality educational options to serve the diverse needs of our students. The contractual agreement between Odyssey Preparatory Charter Academy and the School Board will expire on June 30, 2018. In accordance with the Florida Charter School Law, a charter school may be renewed provided that a program review demonstrates that the school has successfully fulfilled the terms of its contract pursuant to Section 1002.33(7)(a)(17), F.S. The renewal process is designed to provide an overview of the charter school’s performance, success and challenges, over the entire term of the charter contract, and is guided by three questions:

1. Is the academic program successful? 2. Is the organization viable? 3. Is the charter school demonstrating good faith in following the terms of its current charter

contract and all applicable laws? This document provides the results of the program review, which was conducted by the Division of Equity, Innovation and Choice (EIC). In conducting a renewal program review, EIC focused its analysis on the school’s performance in three categories:

1. Educational performance 2. Financial performance 3. Organizational performance

Section 1002.33, F.S. requires that student performance be the most important factor in the consideration of charter renewal. The sponsor may also choose not to renew the charter for any of the following grounds:

1. Failure to participate in the state’s educational accountability system created in S. 1008.31, F.S. or failure to meet the requirements for student performance stated in the charter.

2. Failure to meet generally acceptable standards of fiscal management. 3. Violation of law. 4. Other good cause shown.

Renewals shall be for a term of five years unless another term is mutually agreed upon, required, or allowed by law. Upon approval, the contract will be renewed following the contract negotiation process in current School Board policy.

Timeline and Process The Charter School Renewal Application and Report process begins in July of the school year for which the charter application expires, with EIC requesting a letter of intent from the charter school. Compliance reviews begin in late-September and the renewal data will be finalized by the end of November. A District Review Team will be convened to review and evaluate the evidence collected throughout the renewal process, and make a recommendation as to whether a school should be renewed in accordance with the Charter Law and School Board Policy 9800, Charter Schools. Only those schools recommended for renewal by the District Team will proceed to negotiations for a renewal contract.

Indicators and Standards The following defines specific indicators (the types and level of information and data that will be collected) and standards (the benchmark by which such indicators will be measured) that was analyzed. A school’s performance within these indicators is the most crucial factor in determining a charter renewal decision. The Division of Equity, Innovation and Choice has determined the standard status based on a review and analysis of pertinent data points, site visits, and other relevant data.

Findings: 1. The school’s mission is to work in partnership with the family and community, with the aim of helping

each child reach full potential in all areas of life. Because the school is achieving and making significant progress toward achieving the school/mission specific goals, as evidenced by accountability data and site visits, it has been determined that the school meets the criteria. During site visits the school proved to have a blended methodology that includes the Montessori approach with other compatible models such as research or project-based education.

2. Because the school is successfully implementing curriculum and instructional techniques defined in the contract and evidenced by accountability data and site visits, it has been determined that the school meets the criteria.

3. Because the school implements demonstrably effective instructional techniques as evidenced by accountability data and site visits, it has been determined that the school meets the criteria. The school has adequate individualized learning and support for struggling students including after-school tutoring for students in need of intervention.

4. Because the school uses data to inform and guide the instructional process, as evidenced by accountability data and site visits, it has been determined that the school meets the criteria.

5. The school approaches this standard. There have been numerous discussions with school administration and with the ESE teacher(s) regarding its implementation of special educational services at the school. Generally, the school does try to ensure the academic success of students with disabilities whose education needs can be met in a regular classroom environment with at least 80% of instruction occurring in a class with non-disabled peers. However, there has been some concerns with the school’s collection of data related to the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) and how the school provides a continuum of services for students with disabilities within their 80/20 LRE model. From consultation to support facilitation to direct instruction, etc. The location of services corresponds to the 80/20 LRE, not the type of service.

6. The school meets this standard as the performance of its ELL students is comparable to the major feeder pattern schools.

7. N/A 8. N/A 9. As evidenced by accountability data and site visits, the school implements a variety of instructional

methods and it has been determined that the Quality of Pedagogy meets the criteria.

Summative Determination Because the school meets 6 of the criteria, partially meets 1 of the criteria and has 2 N/A criteria, it has been determined that the school meets the standard in the area of Educational Program Implementation.

Findings:

1. The school meets this criterion as the school’s actual enrollment is generally consistent with its enrollment projections.

2. The school partially meets these criteria as the demographic composition of its students is aligned with that of its major feeder pattern schools. However, the school has a significantly lower population of ESE students compared to its majority feeder pattern schools, and a lower population of ELL students compared to its majority feeder pattern school (with the exception of Columbia).

3. The school partially meets the criteria for enrollment and dismissal procedures. The significantly lower population of ESE and ELL students brings to questions how the school is ensuring that students with disabilities or with language barriers will have an equal opportunity of being selected for enrollment in the charter school, as well as, not being dismissed inappropriately from the charter school.

4. The school meets the criteria for maintaining and safe and secure learning environment. 5. The school meets the criteria for health and safety.
