Charter School Renewals

Renewals

A charter must apply for renewal five years after the charter is first awarded, and then every ten years thereafter. Rules outlining the renewal process are written in 19 TAC §100.1031 – Renewal of an Open-Enrollment Charter. 

Renewing charter schools must submit a renewal application that will be considered as part of the renewal process. During the renewal process, charter schools will receive further communications and guidance from the charter division regarding their renewal. Charter schools will receive notification from the commissioner regarding their renewal determination at the completion of the renewal process. To assist charter schools in the review of required documents that are submitted as part of the renewal process, a required elements checklist will be coming soon.
