WHAT IS OUR INTENDED OUTCOME TODAY?• To tell our story of how the PEC and CSD have developed the process of authorization under the Amended Charter School Act. • This is our story and our experience.
- CSD
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?OUR VISIONThe New Mexico Charter Schools Division supports and advances vibrant and innovative public schools of choice which are models of educational excellence and which cultivate a passion for learning and respect for the teaching profession. We envision our work cultivating communities of passionate learners and teachers who inspire educational excellence for all.
- CSD
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?• The whole idea is to improve authorization, increase accountability, mold the process to fit the unique- ness of schools AND decrease the annual paper flow.

REMEMBER…• As a chartering authority…• You can design your own protocols• And you will need to work with your attorneys to develop the documents you will use with charters you authorize. • You can learn from us but this is not intended to provide legal advice regarding how your district complies with the Amended CS Act.
