evidence that such council has initiated substantive communication 296
with the local or regional board of education of the town in which the 297
state or local charter school is located to share student learning practices 298
and experiences. If the State Board of Education does not renew a 299

reasons for such nonrenewal. On and after July 1, 2015, any charter 301
renewed by the State Board of Education shall include academic and 302

commissioner shall provide written notice to the charter school of the 316
reasons for such placement, not later than five days after the placement, 317

protect the educational or financial interests of the state. The charter 325
school shall comply with any such additional terms not later than thirty 326
days after the date of their imposition. The commissioner shall 327
determine the length of time of the probationary period, which may be 328
up to one year, provided the commissioner may extend such period, for 329
up to one additional year, if the commissioner deems it necessary. In the 330
event that the charter school does not file or implement the corrective 331
action plan within the required time period or does not comply with any 332
additional terms within the required time period, the Commissioner of 333
Education may withhold grant funds from the school until the plan is 334
fully implemented or the school complies with the terms of probation, 335
provided the commissioner may extend the time period for such 336
implementation and compliance for good cause shown. Whenever a 337
charter school is placed on probation, the commissioner shall notify the 338
parents or guardians of students attending the school of the 339
probationary status of the school and the reasons for such status. During 340
the term of probation, the commissioner may require the school to file 341
interim reports concerning any matter the commissioner deems relevant 342
to the probationary status of the school, including financial reports or 343
statements. No charter school on probation may increase its student 344
enrollment or engage in the recruitment of new students without the 345
consent of the commissioner. 346
(i) The State Board of Education may revoke a charter if a charter 347
school has failed to: (1) Comply with the terms of probation, including 348
the failure to file or implement a corrective action plan; (2) demonstrate 349
satisfactory student progress, as determined by the commissioner; (3) 350
comply with the terms of its charter or applicable laws and regulations; 351
or (4) manage its public funds in a prudent or legal manner. Unless an 352
emergency exists, prior to revoking a charter, the State Board of 353
Education shall provide the governing council of the charter school with 354
a written notice of the reasons for the revocation, including the 355
identification of specific incidents of noncompliance with the law, 356
regulation or charter or other matters warranting revocation of the 357

requirements for the retention of its charter by providing the State Board 360
of Education or a subcommittee of the board, as determined by the State 361
Board of Education, with a written or oral presentation. Such 362
presentation shall include an opportunity for the governing council to 363
present documentary and testimonial evidence to refute the facts cited 364
by the State Board of Education for the proposed revocation or in 365
justification of its activities. Such opportunity shall not constitute a 366
contested case within the meaning of chapter 54. The State Board of 367
Education shall determine, not later than thirty days after the date of an 368
oral presentation or receipt of a written presentation, whether and when 369
the charter shall be revoked and notify the governing council of the 370
decision and the reasons therefor. A decision to revoke a charter shall 371
not constitute a final decision for purposes of chapter 54. In the event an 372
emergency exists in which the commissioner finds that there is 373
imminent harm to the students attending a charter school, the State 374
Board of Education may immediately revoke the charter of the school, 375
provided the notice concerning the reasons for the revocation is sent to 376
the governing council not later than ten days after the date of revocation 377
and the governing council is provided an opportunity to make a 378
presentation to the board not later than twenty days from the date of 379
such notice. 380
