1BExecutive Summary
This Annual Report is the third to be issued by the Commission since its creation in 2012 primarily provides information on Hawaii’s charter school system from the 2013-2014 school Hawaii’s 34 public charter schoo ls currently operate under the auspices of the three-year CharterContract developed and executed during that school year. The Charter Contract incorporates aPerformance Framework under which charter schools are evaluated in three areas: Academic, Finaand Organizational.
In the Academic area, this is the first Annual Report to include results from the ComAcademic Performance Framework, which was finalized during the 2013-2014 school year. TheAcademic Performance Framework is based mostly on data provided by the State’s Strive HPerformance System for all public schools, but it applies that data in some ways that depart significfrom Strive HI. This means that the respective school results under Strive HI and the AcademicPerformance Framework generally tend to be aligned but in some instances differ significantly. As last year’s results, important data caveats should be borne in mind when evaluating results.
In this first run of the Academic Performance Framework, 36% of charter schools met orexceeded the overall standard, while 63% did not meet or fell far below the standard. The fradded emphasis on High Needs Students, and the reality that charter schools currently areunderperforming relative to statewide averages on some outcomes for High Needs Students, appeahave been a significant factor in these results. As measured under Strive HI, charter schools in 2012014 collectively improved, on average, on every measure except two: Reading proficiency and, i
elementary schools, chronic absenteeism, which both remained essentially flat. The rate by whichcharter schools collectively reduced the achievement gap between High Needs Students and their NHigh Needs Students showed particularly impressive progress. Notably, five of the eleven highestperforming public high schools in the state and two of the four highest-performing middle schools,measured by Strive HI, are charter schools.
In the Financial area, charter schools generally were in good financial positions as of June
2014, and appear to have exercised sound stewardship of public funds, but there was a slightdeterioration in their positions from last fiscal year. The 2013-2014 results suggest that the financiprediction in last year’s Annu al Report still holds true: that sustainability challenges lie ahead if flevels remain essentially flat and/or schools cannot realize cost savings. While there was overallimprovement this year in some near-term indicators, schools are starting to struggle to meet the neaterm targets and more are having difficulty meeting standards for the long term sustainability

placed on Hawaii charter schools and the challenges confronting schools that tend to be lightly stafadministratively, stretched financially, and still transitioning from a previous model of governance
was primarily constituency- and community-based. The results nonetheless highlight some areas thwill require additional attention from schools and the Commission.
In all three areas, Hawaii’s charter sector shows promising sign of improvement, butmuch work remains to be done. The strains of systemic improvement efforts on schools with multi-faceted resource and capacity challenges —however necessary and overdue these efforts are ininterests of Hawaii’s children— are evident. This Annual Report helps detail both the progress an
challenges for consideration by policymakers, parents, schools, and other stakeholders.

I. 2B1BIntroduction
This Annual Report is the third to be issued by the State Public Charter School Commissio(“Commission”), which was created under Act 130 (“Act 130”), Session Laws of Hawaii (“Sthe State’s new statewide charter school authorizer. The report primarily addresses developmduring the 2013-2014 fiscal and academic year.
Act 130 established a new charter school law for Hawaii, codified in the new Hawaii ReviStatutes (“HRS”) Chapter 302D. Among other things, the new law:
1. Assigned to the Commission the mission of authorizing high-quality charter schoolsthroughout the State and envisioned that the Commission focus primarily on its coreaccountability-related authorizer functions;
2. Mandated that State Public Charter School Contract (“Charter Contract”) be exeach charter school, based on a performance framework for the schools;
3. Required that each charter school be governed and overseen by its own governing boawith a shift in emphasis from a community and constituency-based board model undeprevious law to one that emphasized a more robust governance role and substantive sksets; and
4. Required this Annual Report and dictated its contents.
As of the release of the Commission’s 2013 Annual Report, dated November 21, 201Hawaii public charter schools then in existence had entered into the first Charter Contract, whichincorporated a Performance Framework comprising three substantive areas: Academic, Financial, aOrganizational. At the time of the first Charter Contract’s development and execution, theCommission’s Academic Performance Framework still was a work in progress, as the State’sPerformance System (“Strive HI”), Hawaii’s public school accountability and improvement sincorporated into the Commission ’s Performance Framework, had not yet received federal approrder to allow for the development of the Academic Performance Framework, and to allow theCommission and the schools to gain experience with the other frameworks and Charter Contractprovisions, the first Charter Contract had a term of only one year, and no school faced potentialrevocation of its Charter Contract for inadequate performance under the Academic PerformanceFramework, Financial Performance Framework, and Organizational Performance Framework
8/10/2019 Hawaii charter schools annual report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hawaii-charter-schools-annual-report 10/268
During the 2013-2014 school year, after extensive meetings with the schools, both the AcaPerformance Framework and the current Charter Contract were adopted. The new Charter Contrac
incorporates the new Academic Performance Framework, a more developed OrganizationalPerformance Framework, and the same Financial Performance Framework. 1F
2 The term of thContract is three years for all current schools, but schools that achieve high performance under thePerformance Framework will be eligible for an automatic two-year extension of their contracts, wihaving to go through the contract renewal process.
The Academic Performance Framework incorporates school data from Strive HI, which ap
all public schools including public charter schools, but in some notable ways the Academic PerformFramework applies or weights that data differently. The Commission’s Academic PerformanFramework places strong additional emphasis on academic achievement and growth by High NeedStudents, i.e ., students who are eligible for free and reduced price lunch, students receiving speciaeducation, and students who are English language learners. The framework calculates data for eacthe grade divisions (elementary, middle, and high) served by a multi-division school, rather thancalculating data for just the highest grade division of the school. Schools also are able to propose
School- Specific Measures that, upon Commission review and approval, also will be used to evaluaschool according to its mission and circumstances.
Also, as of last year ’s Annual Report, the Commission had initiated promulgation ofadministrative rules. The formal promulgation process commenced only after the rules had beendiscussed with the charter schools during the drafting stage in 2012. Two chapters were proposed:Chapter 8- 501, entitled “State Public Charter School Commission Rules of Practice and ProcChapter 8- 505, entitled “Applications, Renewals or Nonrenewals, and Revocations.” After apublic hearings in all four of Hawaii’s countie s, the Commission adopted the proposed rules onNovember 13, 2014. As of the writing of this report, the rules are poised for final review by theGovernor.
The 2014 Legislative Session saw the enactment of Act 99, SLH 2014, which among thin
Clarified that, starting with fiscal year 2015, the entire appropriation for the Com
operations will be made separately from, and in addition to, the appropriation made tocharter schools;
Clarified the status of approved charter applicants and established a more phased-in stup period, better positioning newly approved schools to prepare to serve children upo

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hawaii-charter-schools-annual-report 11/268
Authorized the Commission to reconstitute the governing board of a charter school un
certain exigent circumstances; and
Authorized the Commission to make adjustments in charter school funding allocationbased on a school’s noncompliance with the Charter Contract.
The 2013 application cycle for new charter schools marked another milestone, as it was thentirely Commission-run charter application process. 2F
3 On May 8, 2014, the Commission app
application of Ka‘u Learning Academy, which plans to begin serving children in the 2015 -20year as Hawaii’s thirty-fifth public charter school. This was the only application approved in therevamped 2013 cycle, a reflection of the increased rigor that the Commission has brought to theapplication process. In addition, a school approved in the 2012 application cycle, Mālama HCharter School, had requested and was granted a deferral of its opening date to July 2014. On July2014, the Commission executed a Charter Contract with the school, thus allowing the school to opthe current school year.
Late in fiscal year 2013-2014 , Hālau Lōkahi Charter School (“Halau Lokahi”) was uits financial obligations. The Commission offered a new Charter Contract to Halau Lokahi only onconditions that the school’s governing board and school director resign, the school cons enCommission’s appointment of a new governing board, and the school submit a viable plan frecovery and sustainability through the 2014-2015 fiscal and academic year. Halau Lokahi accepteoffer, and on July 10, 2014, the Commission appointed the new governing board for the school. Athis writing, that governing board has committed itself to the painful task of a drastic restructuring the school’s staff at the end of the first semester.
Other highlights from school year 2013-2014 include the following actions by the Commiand other developments:
Implementation of a comprehensive and administratively manageable monitoring andreporting system for charter schools, known as Epicenter;
Improved communications and transparency through measures such as continuing andadding features to the weekly e- newsletter, “Ka ‘Elele;” for the first time prepamaking available to the public written submittals on Commission agenda items; improthe Commission website (www.chartercommission.gov ), and providing more we

Orientation sessions to prospective charter applicants to familiarize them not only witapplication process itself but also with the challenges of starting and operating a succe
public charter school and, on the front end, with the Performance Framework under wnew school will be accountable to families and to the public; and
Facilitating the improvement of communications among the charter schools and Stateagencies, including the Department of Education (“ DOE,”) the Hawaii DepartmeResources Development (“DHRD”), Hawaii Employees’ Retirement System (“EHawaii Employer- Union Health Benefits Trust Fund (“EUTF”).
At the end of fiscal year 2012-2013 , the Hawaii Board of Education (“BOE”) appoinD’Olier as a Commissioner to replace Richard Hogeboom, whose term expired on June 30, 2013, reappointed Commissioners Terri Fujii and Peter Hanohano. The other Commissioners serving as 1, 2013 were: Usha Kotner, Curtis Muraoka, Catherine Payne, Karen Street, Roger Takabayashi, aPeter Tomozawa. The Commission elected Ms. Fujii as its new chairperson, replacing Ms. Street. Fujii resigned from the Commission on January 29, 2014, and Ms. Payne was elected as the new
chairperson. On May 20, 2014, the BOE appointed Kalehua Krug to fulfill the remainder of term. Ms. Kotner’s and Mr. Muraoka’s terms expired on June 30, 2014. Mr. Tomozawa’s teexpired, but the BOE reappointed him to another term. Ms. Kotner and Mr. Muraoka subsequentlyhave been replaced by the appointments of Jill Baldemor and Ernest Nishizaki.
In April 2014, the Office of the Auditor of the State of Hawaii issued a report, entitledthe Implementation of the State Auditor’s 2011 Recommendations (Report No. 14-06) , an u
Governor and the Legislature on the implementation of recommendations the Office had issued in iDecember 2011 audit report, entitled Performance Audit of the Hawaii Public Charter School Sys(Report No. 11-03). The 2011 audit report was subtitled “Hawai‘i Charter Schools: AutonoAccountability” and raised some of the concerns that precipitated the enactment of Act 130. update acknowledged that much work remains to be done to improve Hawaii’s charter schoobut concluded that, “the [C]ommission should be commended for the significant progress it has a relatively short time.”

II. 3B2BStrategic VisionThe authorizer's strategic vision for chartering and progress toward achieving that vision.
The Commission’s statutory mission is to “authorize high -quality public charter schothroughout the State.” 4F5F
6 The strategic vision for the chartering of these high-quality schools is thnot only provide excellent and diverse educational options for Hawaii’s families but that theycontribute meaningfully to the continued improvement of Hawaii’s public education system
The Commission’s development and execution with the existing charter schools of thContract and development of the Performance Framework with academic, financial, and organizatielements represent significant progress toward pursuing the Commission’s mission and strateThe charter application process that the Commission employs is also built around the PerformanceFramework and sets rigorous expectations of charter applications and a high bar for approval of anapplication to a create new charter school. In addition, under the Commission’s new timelinprocess for charter school start-ups, newly approved applicants have twelve months from the approof the application to the opening of the new school, a significantly longer time in which to lay the
groundwork needed for excellence, and an incremental contracting process during the start-up periowill provide new start-ups with improved legal status and some additional supports.
Other shorter- term steps toward realizing the Commission’s vision are highlighted iconclusion to this Annual Report. The Commission is confident that implementation of these measwill help ensure, over time, that only high-quality public charter schools will continue to operate anauthorized in the future and that these schools will contribute to the strength of Hawaii’s pubeducation system.

III. 4B3BAcademic, Financial, and Organizational Performance of Charter SchoolsThe academic performance of all operating public charter schools overseen by the Commissionaccording to the performance expectations for public charter schools set forth in HRS Chapter302D, including a comparison of the performance of public charter school students with publicschool students statewide. 9F10F
11
The financial performance of all operating public charter schools overseen by the Commission,according to the performance expectations for public charter schools set forth in HRS Chapter302D.
The Commission’s accountability system, known as the Performance Framework , ethree substantive areas: the Academic Performance Framework, the Financial Performance Frameand the Organizational Performance Framework. Each of the Performance Frameworks has measuwith factors that the Commission will consider when evaluating schools. All three frameworks aretogether as a single evaluation tool.
A. 12B11B
Academic PerformanceThis section will start with a description of the Academic Performance Framework and theresults from applying it to the 2013-2014 academic data for the charter schools. This is the inauguyear for the Academic Performance Framework, which was adopted by the Commission in April oThis is therefore the first year that the charter schools are seeing how the Academic Framework diffrom Strive HI and how those differences account for their results.
The results of the Academic Performance Assessment are contained in individual schoolsummaries, included as Appendix A , as well as within the section discussing the results. The dithen will move to charter schools ’ results under Strive HI and include comparisons to statewide where relevant. Strive HI results for each school is included as Appendix B . A chart showincomparisons of statewide averages and charter school-wide averages is included as Appensection will conclude with information on charter school accreditation, Hawaiian culture focused oHawaiian immersion school status, and virtual schools and schools with significant blended learninprograms.
Data Caveats.A number of significant data caveats should be borne in mind when reviewing and conside
the academic data compiled in this report. The most important relate to data suppression, pooled dsmall school population size, and Strive HI.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hawaii-charter-schools-annual-report 18/268
comply with this requirement, if the sample size is smaller than twenty students in any cell (a specigroup of analyzed students), the data must be suppressed. 11F
12 Because many charter schools h
student populations and/or small subgroups, data from several of them is suppressed. For these smschools, the only Strive HI data that can be publicly released are the school’s Strive HI AcadPerformance Index score and Strive HI Classification.

13 If the sample size is very smsample size will be increased to include data for the last two to three years in order to calculate themeasure. At most, three years of data may have been used in calculating achievement, growth,readiness, and achievement gaps.
Population Size. Schools with small populations may see greater fluctuations in performbetween years. Such fluctuations are not indicators of invalidity but of volatility due to the impact small but significant changes in the student population. In addition, some measures cannot beconducted when a student subgroup is too small.

approved the exclusion of results for the following grades from the following schools:
Results from Ka Umeke ’s grades 3, 4, and 5 were excluded;
Results from Kawaikini ’s grades 3, 4, and 5 were excluded;
Results from Kamakau ’s grades 3, 4, 5, and 6 were excluded;
Results from KKNOK’s grades 3, 4, and 5 were excluded; and
Results from Kualapuu ’s students in grades 3 and 4 who are on the schoolimmersion track were excluded.
Strive HI Year-to-Year Comparisons.
Strive HI Academic Performance Index Scores and Classifications. The Strive HI AcademPerformance Index (“ API”) score for a public school is made up of multiple indicators measuringachievement, growth, readiness, and achievement gaps. While Strive HI API scores may shift eachmost Strive HI Classifications will not change in this second year of Strive HI because they are twodesignations. However, schools that attained the criteria for Recognition status only in this past yewill be reclassified as Recognition schools. All school classifications will be re-evaluated after the2015 school year.
Schools Serving Multiple Grade Divisions. Strive HI considers a school ’s grade divisdetermined by the highest grade level the school serves. Because of this, for purposes of the Readincategory under Strive HI, DOE does not require a K-12 school, for example, to participate in the 8tgrade ACT EXPLORE exam and does not measure the elementary grades’ chronic absenteeithe Commission’s Academic Performa nce Framework evaluates multi-division charter schools fgrade division served; therefore charter schools are now required to provide the data for each gradedivision served.
8th Grade ACT EXPLORE and 11th Grade ACT Exams. The 8th grade ACT EXPLOREonly measure for the Strive HI College and Career Readiness indicator for middle or intermediateschools. It measures whether or not a student is on track to be college-ready. Last year, amedian 8th grade ACT EXPLORE Composite score was used to earn points on the Strive HI rubric

Missing Data. Again, charter schools were required to administer the 8th grade ACT EXPand 11th grade ACT exams for the 2013-2014 school year but not for the previous year; thus, there
more data available this year on these measures. In addition, some measures are missing data in onboth years simply because some schools ’ student populations were too small to conduct the me
1. 19B18BAcademic Performance FrameworkThe Academic Performance Framework is used to evaluate a school’s academic perf
measuring the school ’s academic outcomes. Educational processes and inputs, like observatclassroom instruction, are not measures of academic outcomes and are, therefore, not included in thAcademic Performance Framework. In other words, the Commission focuses on a s chool’sresults; it does not evaluate how a school obtains its results. The Academic Performance Frammade up of three indicators: (1) the State and Federal Accountability System indicator (Strive HI),proficiency and growth of High Needs Students, and (3) School-Specific Measures, an optional indEach of these measures has corresponding measures as shown in Figure 1 below and is described inmore detail.

a. State and Federal Accountability System Indicator Charter schools are public schools and operate as a part of the State’s public schoo
such, they are accountable under both the State’s accountability system, the Strive HI PerfoSystem (“Strive HI”), and the Commission ’s accountability system, the Academic PerformanFramework. In recognition of this, the State ’s accountability system serves as a very important
in the Academic Performance Framework. The Academic Performance Framework incorporatesinformation from Strive HI but also includes additional data that are not currently captured by StrivHI. The Commission framework also attempts to address charter-specific issues with Strive HI to more accurate data on charter schools’ academic performanc e.
8/10/2019 Hawaii charter schools annual report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hawaii-charter-schools-annual-report 21/268
the data that were in Strive HI. Because Strive HI provides a snapshot of the performance of allstudents, this measures provides a snapshot of all students’ academic performance in this sys
For most charter schools, this measure uses a different API score than that assigned by Strin order to address the charter-specific issue of multi-divisional schools. Most DOE schools are sindivision schools —either elementary, middle, or high schools. Most charter schools, however, are divisional, with many schools offering grades kindergarten through 12 th grade. Strive HI exschool’s performance according to the measures specific to the school’s division, which is the highest grade level served at the school. The Readiness category under Strive HI is calculated
differently for each grade division, and each grade division’s relative weighting of the four caunder Strive HI also differs , even though student achievement results from all of a school’s teare factored into the results that are weighted. Therefore, in some ways a charter school that servegrades K-12, for example, is evaluated as a high school, even if a majority of the school’s poits elementary division.
In order to address this issue, the Commission’s Academic Performance Framework
API score for each grade division that the school serves (elementary, middle, and high) and then wthe API score for each division based on the percentage of the student population in each division. result is an overall Weighted API score.
This method is intended to give a more accurate view of how schools are performing witheach division rather than having the indicator depend solely on the highest grade level served. Becthe overall Weighted API score takes into account the multi-divisional nature of most charter schoo
and acknowledges that the number of students in each division differs, the overall Weighted API scshould provide a more accurate picture of school performance, especially for K-12 charter schoolsthat —as is often the case —serve fewer students in the upper grades than in the lower.
The second measure in the State and Federal Accountability System indicator is the StriveClassification. This measure is used for informational purposes only. Strive HI separates schools ifour classes. The top 5% of schools are classified as “Recognition” schools, the next highest
schools are classified as “Continuous Improvement” schools , the next 10% are classified asschools, and the lowest 5% are “Priority” schools . The Strive HI system then makes additionaavailable to Priority and Focus schools to support their school improvement efforts.
The third measure is Annual Measurable Outcomes. This measure is used for information
8/10/2019 Hawaii charter schools annual report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hawaii-charter-schools-annual-report 22/268
b. High Needs StudentsThe Academic Performance Framework also takes a closer look at how well charter schoo
serve High Needs Students —students who qualify for Free and Reduced Lunch (“FRL”), ELearners (“ELL”), and students who are receiving special education. The Commission assigns a higher priority to a school’s performance in serving High Needs Students than does Strive HI, than considering the school’s performance as to such students only relative to its performancNon-High Needs Students, it looks closely at the results for High Needs Students on their own. Stacademic proficiency and growth are critical indicators of a school’s academic performanceframework gives significant consideration to data that report on High Needs Student proficiency in
state-tested subjects and academic growth over time. Proficiency measures show how well studentperforming in Math and Reading. Growth measures show how effective schools are in impactingstudent learning within the school year. It is important to look at both types of measures together tget a clearer picture of a school’s academic performance and effectiveness for this student subgr
Proficiency rates of High Needs Students are calculated by evaluating the percentage of HNeeds Students who are proficient in Math and Reading on the state assessment. This percentage iscompared to proficiency rates of High Needs S tudents statewide. The performance of a schoNeeds population is compared only to proficiency rates of schools serving the same grades. The mfor this measure uses a percentile ranking to evaluate performance.
Growth of High Needs Students is measured by determining the median Student GrowthPercentile among the High Needs population at a school. The metric for this measure uses a reviseversion of the Strive HI growth scoring model. 13F

The Academic Performance Framework also looks at High Needs Adequate Growth. Thimeasure evaluates the growth of the High Needs Students and indicates whether this rate of growthwould lead students to be proficient in three years or by 10 th grade, whichever comes first. Dnot available to conduct this measure this year.
c. School-Specific MeasuresThe Academic Performance Framework includes an optional measure that provides schoo
opportunity to capture the accomplishment of their specific missions. Many charter schools haveeducational missions extending beyond imparting skills and content that are assessed and captured state and federal accountability measures. Allowing these schools to propose School-Specific Mea

provides the schools the opportunity to develop best practices and be accountable to the Commissioand the public for measures that capture such a distinctive education focus or purpose. The
Commission evaluates and approves all School-Specific Measures, which must be rigorous, valid, areliable before they can be included in the results for that school.
The 2014-2015 school year is the first year in which School-Specific Measures will be proby schools to be approved for use in the Academic Performance Framework. Schools that have aCommission approved School-Specific Measure will collect student data according to the defined mof their School-Specific Measure. The school collected data will be used in the calculation of Acad
Performance Framework for the 2014-2015 school year. The results of the School-Specific Measuschools that have successfully collected and provided data therefore will be included in neAnnual Report. Currently, several schools are developing measures that attempt to capture studentacademic performance that is aligned to their specific school mission and collecting baseline data tcreate School- Specific Measures. Two of these schools, Kamakau and Volcano, have completeddevelopment of these measures, which have been approved by the Commission for inclusion in 2012015 results.
d. Weighting, Rating, Overall Score, and Overall RatingWeighting. In 2014, the Academic Performance Framework evaluated performance for t
measures: State and Federal Accountability System (Strive HI API score); Proficiency of High NeeStudents; and Growth of High Needs Students. Schools can earn a score on a scale of 0-100 pointseach of these measures. These measures are then weighted as part of the overall framework toproduce an Overall Score, which is also on a 0-100 point scale. The State and Federal AccountabilSystem (Strive HI API score, as modified for multi-division schools ) accounts for 65% of a scOverall Score; Proficiency of High Needs Students accounts for 13.5%; and Growth of High NeedsStudents accounts for 21.5%. See Figure 2 for a diagram showing the weighting of the AcademicPerformance Framework for 2014.
While these were the weights that were used to calculate the overall score in 2014, the amof weight assigned to each measure in future years may change as additional data become availableand as more School-Specific Measures proposed by schools are approved by the Commission andincluded in the schools ’ evaluation under the framework. See Figure 3 for a diagram showing a weighting scenario once a School-Specific Measure assigned a 25% weight is included.

Overall Rating. Overall, 36% of charter schools met or exceeded standards under theCommission ’s Academic Performance Framework. However, 63% of charter schools were rated a
“Does Not Meet Standard ” or “Falls Far Below Standard, ” as shown in Table 5 below. This iswith results under Strive HI and also reflects the Academic Performance Framework’s addeon measuring the achievement and growth of High Needs Students. Some outcomes for High NeeStudents in charter schools, particularly Growth, are low compared to results from all public schoostatewide. This reality, combined with the Academic Performance Framework ’s emphasis Needs Students and on Growth, 14F
15 appears to have contributed to the relatively high number of cschools failing to achieve overall ratings of “Meet s Standard ” or “Exceed Standard.”
By contrast, there are schools that received high ratings on the Academic PerformanceFramework. One of the two schools that achieved an Overall Rating of “Exceeds Standard”Academic Performance Framework, KANAKA, scored 275 points out of 400 points on its straight HI API. The school had received a “Continuous Improvement” classification under Strive HIprior year’s Strive HI API score of 238.The school has achieved high levels of academic proficigrowth, while serving a student population composed almost entirely of High Needs Students. In
addition, the Commission’s weighting of the school’s results proportionally by the grade diviserved meant that the school’s Overall Rating under the Academic Performance Framework adversely affected by its 11 th grade ACT scores as was its API score under Strive HI.

As discussed above, the Commission’s Academic Performance Framework attemptethe issue of multi-divisional schools and how they are treated under Strive HI by simulating an APIfor each grade division that the school serves (elementary, middle, and high) and then weighting thscore for each division based on the percentage of the student population in each division. While th
are some differences between the Strive HI API score and the Weighted API score, overall these wnot significant, as shown in Table 6. Overall, the Framework assigned a Weighted API score aboutpoints above or below the Strive HI API score for 23 of 33 schools. The Weighted API score provimportant information for the performance of a multi-division school at each grade division, yet thimethodology does not produce significantly different scores in comparison to Strive HI API scores

performance of each division is calculated separately, 15F

In this way, the Weighted API reveals a more accurate picture of the entire school’s aperformance when there are multiple divisions in one school.

State and Federal Accountability System Indicator. As discussed above, the AcademPerformance Framework recognizes Strive HI as an important indicator by incorporating it as part of the three measures in the framework. Schools were given ratings based on the following chart:
Exceeds Standard Weighted API Score at or above the 90 th percentile of all schoolthe same grade divisions in the state
Meets Standard Weighted API Score between the 50 th and 90 th percentile of all serving the same grade divisions in the state
Does Not Meet Standard Weighted API Score between the 20 th and 49 th percentile of all serving the same grade divisions in the state
Falls Far Below Standard Weighted API Score below the 20 th percentile of all schools servisame grade divisions in the state
Each school received points 16F
17 and a rating for the measure, as shown in Table 7 below.
Two charter schools (6% of the schools) earned the over all rating of “Exceeds Stanthese schools’ Weighted API scores are compared to the Strive HI API scores of schools servinsame grade divisions statewide, these schools ranked at or above the 90th percentile. Thirty percen
charter schools earned the “Meets Standard ” rating, which places them between the 50th and percentiles of Strive HI API scores of schools serving the same grade divisions statewide. Thirty-npercent of charter schools earned the rating of “Does Not Meet Standard, ” placing them a20th to 49th percentiles of schools serving the same grade divisions statewide. Finally, 24% of chaschools earned “Falls Far Below Standard, ” ranking their Weighted API scores below the 20th of schools serving the same grade divisions statewide. Overall, when comparing Weighted API scoto Strive HI API scores statewide, 63% of charter schools performed at the 49th percentile or below

Generally speaking, the Strive HI Classifications are not dramatically misaligned with theAcademic Performance Framework Overall Ratings. This is not surprising because of the significathat the Academic Performance Framework relies on Strive HI data.
However, several s chools’ Academic Performance Framework Overall Ratings differedsignificantly from their Strive HI Classifications. Among the explanations for these differences are
Strive HI Classifications were determined during the 2012-2013 school year, while thAcademic Performance Framework ratings were established during the 2013-2014 scyear;
Strive HI Classifications are intended to highlight the highest and lowest performing sso that 75-85% of schools are classified under Strive HI in Continuous Improvement;
Strive HI has automatic triggers which result in an automatic Focus or Priority classifbased on one indicator ( e.g. , low graduation rate) even if the school’s overall inwould not otherwise place it in that classification;
Because the Academic Performance Framework so heavily emphasizes achievement growth of High Needs populations, schools’ results on these measures could accOverall Ratings that present a contrast to these schools ’ Strive HI Classification
As described in Section III.A, regarding data caveats, the Commission allowed Hawamedium and immersion schools to request that the Commission exclude the Hawaii S
Bridge Assessment results for some early grades from consideration under the AcademPerformance Framework because students in those grades are taught exclusively orprimarily in the Hawaiian language, and the exclusion of the results could yield a highlower rating under the Academic Performance Framework and account for somedifferences.
2. 20BStrive HIThe DOE released the first performance reports under Strive HI for the 2012-2013 school
July of 2013. The 2013-2014 school year is the second year of Strive HI results. Because some chhave been made to Strive HI, there are certain considerations that should be made when interpretinthis year’s data and making year -to-year comparisons.

These weighted indicators are then used to create a Strive HI Academic Performance Indescore for each school. Schools are ranked according to Strive HI API score and classified. The topschools are classified as “Recognition” schools, the top 75 -85% of schools are classified as Improvement” schools; the next 10% are classified as “Focus” schools , and the lowest 5% aschools. See Figure 6 below. In addition —and importantly —certain triggers, such as a low grate, will automatically classify a school as Focus or Priority, despite a relatively higher Strive HI Ascore.

Strive HI results will be discussed in the following order and cover the following informat
Strive HI API Score and Classification Status. The Strive HI section discusses charter
Strive HI API scores and Classifications, examine overall trends from the 2012-2013 to the 2013-2school year in charter schools, and compare them to overall statewide trends. This section will alsoaddress specific schools that had large fluctuations in Strive HI API scores.
Achievement. The Achievement section breaks down the levels of student proficiency iReading, and Science, and proficiency rates of High Needs Students as a whole and achievement bsubgroups within the High Needs classification.
Growth. The Growth section discusses growth in Math and Reading and also High Needin comparison to Non-High Needs growth.
Readiness. The Readiness section discusses the indicators for college and career readinethe elementary, middle, and high school levels. This includes ACT scores, on-time graduation ratecollege-going rates, elementary chronic absenteeism and the 8th grade ACT EXPLORE test.
Achievement Gap. The Achievement Gap section will discuss the Current Year Gap andYear Gap Reduction rate.
Strive HI API Score and Classification Status. While Strive HI API scores may shift eClassifications will not change because they are two-year designations. However, schools that attathe criteria for Recognition status only in this past year can be reclassified as Recognition schools. school Classifications will be re-evaluated for the 2014-2015 school year. There is one exception f
year only: the DOE was allowed by the U.S. Department of Education to reclassify Priority schoolsFocus schools if they met specific criteria. One charter school, Ke Kula Niihau o Kekaha Learningwas reclassified through this exception. The Strive HI Classifications of all of the existing charter are listed in Table 11 below. Table 6 also includes the Strive HI API scores from 2012-2013. Full reports on each school are contained in Appendix B .

In the 2013-2014 academic year, charter schools collectively improved, on average, in eacmeasure of Strive HI, except for Reading proficiency and Chronic Absenteeism. Reading proficiendropped one percentage point, and Chronic Absenteeism, which indicates the percentage of elemenstudents that were absent more than fifteen days during the school year, increased by three percentapoints. In all other measures of student academic outcomes, charter schools as a sector showed ov
improvement. The gap reduction rate, in particular, represents how well charter schools are narrowthe achievement gap between “High Needs Students,” including any of three federally definesubgroups —disability, language, for family income —to “Non-High Needs Students” over ticharter schools’ average tw o-year gap reduction rate increased significantly from -21% to 12%. the rate by which charter schools reduced the achievement gap between their High Needs Studentstheir Non-High Needs Students showed impressive progress.
Statewide trends for all public schools showed the average Math proficiency falling from 59, the average Reading proficiency falling from 72 to 70, and Science climbing from 34 percent topercent. ACT scores, high school graduation rates, and college-going rates remained steady statewwith the statewide college-going rate at 82% and high school graduation rate at 63%. Some charteschool highlights include:
The average Strive HI API score rose six points, from 184 to 190.
The average Math proficiency rate rose from 44% to 46%.
The average Reading proficiency rate fell from 65% to 64%.
8/10/2019 Hawaii charter schools annual report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hawaii-charter-schools-annual-report 49/268
The average percentage of students scoring above 19 on the 11th grade ACT increased fro21% to 25%.
The average graduation rate increased from 66% to 69%.
The average two year gap reduction rate increased from -21% to 12%.
Notably, five of the eleven highest performing public high schools in the state, as measurethe Strive HI API score, are charter schools: Myron B. Thompson Academy, Kula Aupuni Niihau Kahelelani Aloha (KANAKA) A New Century Public Charter School, University Laboratory SchoAcademy of Arts and Science Public Charter School (HAAS), and Halau Ku Mana Public Charter
Also noteworthy is the fact that two of the four highest-performing middle schools in the sas measured by the Strive HI API score, are charter schools: Voyager: A Public Charter School anInnovations Public Charter School.
a. Year-to-Year Comparisons of Significant Fluctuations in Strive HI API Scores
The following schools showed significant fluctuations in Strive HI API scores from the 20school year to the 2013-2014 school year. These schools are discussed below and are organized byStrive HI Classification.
Recognition. Na Wai Ola (Waters of Life) Public Charter School is the only charter schocurrently classified as a “Recognition” school under Strive HI. This year, the school’s Strivefell from 364 to 143. In 2013-2013, the school was classified as a Recognition school for demonst
high levels of achievement and growth. At that time, the school served grades K-8 and thus wasevaluated under Strive HI as a middle school. In 2013-2014 the school served grades K-6 and wasevaluated as an elementary school. This could have affected its Strive HI API score because as anelementary school this year, its Readiness measure was weighted at 5%, and the only factor measurwas Chronic Absenteeism. As a middle school, its Readiness measure was weighted at 15%, and tfactor measured was student results on the 8 th grade ACT EXPLORE assessment. These are different measurements and weights. While proficiency rates remained relatively constant, Mathgrowth fell from 77 to 31, and Reading growth from 69 to 26. This measure, combined with a ChrAbsenteeism rate of 39%, which was calculated for the first time now that the schools servedelementary gardes only, accounts for much of the change in the Strive HI API scores.

the gap rate between High Needs Student achievement and Non-High Needs Studachievement.
Lanikai Elementary PCS’sStrive HI API score decreased from 251 points to 203Points were lost due to a decrease in Reading growth.
Volcano School of Arts & Science’s Strive HI API score decreased by 144 poinschool’s scores for Math profici ency, Reading proficiency, and Growth all decrcompared to the 2012-2013 school year.
Voyager: A Public Charter School’s Strive HI API score increased by 131 pimproved significantly, as did Science proficiency.
Halau Ku Mana Public Charter School’s Strive HI API score increased by 1238 due to increased proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science and increasGrowth.
Focus. Schools with Strive HI API scores that fall in the next bottom 10% of all public scthe state after the lowest- scoring 5% of schools are classified as “Priority” schools are clas“Focus” schools. Schools also can fall into this classification automatically, even if their API scorehigher than this range, because of “automatic triggers” such as low achievement, low graduaor large within-school achievement or graduation rate gaps. Focus schools receive more stateinterventions and involvement. Significant changes for schools classified as “Focus” from t
year to the 2013-2014 school year include:
Hawaii Academy of Arts & Sci ence Public Charter School’s Strive HI API score 192 to 243. The school improved in each measure and is performing above average fpublic high schools. The school was classified as a Focus school due to a low graduaof 68% but has increased its graduation rate to 85% for the 2013-2014 school year.

due to a low Strive HI API score and Title I status. Because the school met the exit cspecified by the U.S. Department of Education after Strive HI’s first year of impthe school was reclassified as a Focus school for the 2013-2014 school year. This typreclassification only applied to schools classified as Priority in the 2012-2013 school ythat met the Priority status exit criteria in the 2013-2014 school year.
Kihei Charter School’s Strive HI API fell from 235 to 208.Kihei gained points in tReadiness measure but lost points in Growth and the Achievement Gap measures. Layear, the school did not have 11th grade ACT data; this year, 55% of students scored acomposite score of 19 or higher. The school was classified as a Focus school due to agraduation rate of 51%; the graduation rate has increased to 64% for the 2013-2014 scyear.
Laupahoehoe Community Public Charter School’s Strive HI API score fell from158. This year, the school is missing data for the two-year gap reduction rate measurto a small student population; 25F
26 last year the school had data for each measure. Thgap rate is 56%, which is large and means that there is a considerable gap betweenachievement of Non-High Needs and High Needs students. Proficiency in Math fell f40% to 29%, Reading proficiency from 63% to 50%, but Science proficiency increase28% to 29%.
West Hawai ʻi Explorations Academy’s Strive HI API score fell from 245 to 198school did not have data for the two-year gap reduction measure. Th is year, ttwo-year gap reduction rate is 4%. This means that the school is closing its achievemover time. Proficiency rates stayed relatively constant. The percentage of 11demonstrating college readiness by scoring 19 or higher on the ACT fell from 75% to
Priority. Schools with t he lowest 5% of API scores in the state are classified as “PriSchools also will automatically be classified as “Priority ” if they have persistently low achievemhigh school graduation rate, or are participating in the federal School Improvement Grants (program. Priority schools are eligible to receive higher levels of support and intervention. Four chschools currently have a “Priority ” classification. While all four increased their Strive API scorthe 2013-2014 school year, two made significant increases:

Ke Kula ʻo Nāwah ī okalani ʻōpu ʻu Iki, Laboratory Public Charter School’s Strive increased from 20 to 76. Last year the school was missing data for the 8th grade ACTEXPLORE, current gap rate, and two-year gap reduction rate. This year, data are stilunavailable for the current gap rate and two-year gap reduction rate.
Charter schools that were classified as “Focus” or “Priority” schools in Strive HI’s fithe option of receiving the support of a full- or part- time position of Charter Academic Offithe equivalent of a Complex Academic Officer at the DOE. The CAO is responsible for working wschool to develop and adhere to a strategic plan that is based on a comprehensive needs assessmentconducted by the school and is intended to improve the school’s academic performance , wof removing the school from of “Focus” or “Priority” status.
b. Achievement Under Strive HI, achievement measures the percentage of students who scored proficient o
higher on the Hawaii State Assessment (“HSA”) in Math, Reading, and Science. Charter schMath proficiency rate rose from 44% to 46%. The Reading proficiency rate fell from 65% to 64%the Science proficiency rate rose from 28% to 30%. Statewide, Math proficiency fell from 60 to 5Reading fell from 72 to 70%, and Science rose from 34% to 41%. The DOE had anticipated lowerproficiency in Reading and Math as schools adjusted to new standards and a new baseline wasestablished.

The Special Education student subgroup includes students who have bevaluated as “deaf, hard of hearing, having an intellectual disability, a developmental del alanguage disability, a visual disability (including blindness), and emotional disability, an orthopedicdisability, autism spectrum disorder, traumatic brain injury, a specific learning disability, deaf-blindmultiple disabilities, or other health disability and who, by reason thereof, needs special education
related services.” 27F
28 It is important to examine and track the performance of High Needs Studentscompared to Non-High Needs Students, because schools should be serving all students and ensurinthat they are performing well.
Proficiency rates show the percentage of students who score “meets” or “exceeds” oassessment. The overall proficiency rate among all charter school students for 2013-2014 was 74%Non-High Needs Students and 55% for High Needs Students. The Proficiency rates for each of the
charter schools are shown in the chart below. Statewide, 53% of High Needs Students scored profiin Reading and Math, as compared to 82% of Non-High Needs Students.

When comparing the subgroup proficiency scores to the overall proficiency scores, it is
8/10/2019 Hawaii charter schools annual report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hawaii-charter-schools-annual-report 60/268
important to remember that some students may fall into more than one subgroup. For example, astudent may be in the ELL subgroup and also qualify for free or reduced price lunch. In that situat
the stu dent’s score would be counted in each subgroup. As a result, the overall High Needs rate may not appear to be accurate when compared to the subgroup proficiency rates. That is becauthe rate is determined by using two different denominators. The subgroup rate looks at the percentproficient out of the subgroup, and the overall High Needs proficiency rate uses a denominator of tcombined group.
The overall Proficiency rate of High Needs Students in charter schools is 55%, as compare
53% statewide. However, when analyzing the subgroup proficiency rates individually, the charter performance shows significant deficits when compared to schools statewide. The AcademicPerformance Framework places a greater emphasis on examining the academic achievement of HigNeeds students both on their own and relative to how each school serves Non-High Needs Students
c. Growth Strive HI uses the Hawaii Growth Model to measure how well a school is improving
Reading and Math scores over time. The Hawaii Growth Model measures an individual stuby measuring the student’s progress in academic achievement. For individual students, the StGrowth Percentile (“SGP”) compares the performance of an individual student to her or hipeers. The SGP indicates either an individual student’s growth is high, average, or low compacademic peers of the student. An academic peer is considered the student who has historicallyperformed similarly to the student. At the school level, the median SGP of all students is used todeter mine the school’s score in the G rowth indicator. The median SGP is calculated by taking individual students’ SGPs at a school, ordering them from lowest to highest, and then idenmiddle score. The median SGP indicates the growth that the school’s students are making as
The Hawaii Growth Model sets the median SGP at 52 for Reading and 52 for Math. The median SGP in Reading for charter schools is 50, and the average median SGP in Math is 47. Fiftecharter schools had suppressed data. Twelve fell below the median in Math, and 10 fell below themedian in Reading.
Strive HI categorizes student growth percentile scores into low, typical and high categorieScores below the 35 th percentile is categorized as low, scores between the 35 th and 65 th arscores above the 65 th percentile are categorized as high. When examining the median student grpercentile for each school, median student growth percentile above the 50 th percentile indi

Readiness is measured by five indicators: Elementary Chronic Absenteeism, the percenta8th graders scoring 15 or above (out of 25) on the 8 th grade ACT EXPLORE exam, the percen
graders scoring above 19 or above (out of 36) on the ACT exam, on-time graduation rate, and collegoing rate. Each of these indicators is addressed below.
Elementary School Chronic Absenteeism. Chronic Absenteeism captures the percentastudents who were absent for fifteen days or more in a school year. The statewide Elementary ChrAbsenteeism rate is 11%. Though most charter schools serve elementary grades, the ChronicAbsenteeism rate is only calculated for schools that only serve elementary grades. There are fourcharter schools that serve only elementary grades; the average Chronic Absenteeism rate for these schools collectively was not calculated because they number so few. 29F

College Readiness.
Strive HI looks at ACT composite scores, One-Time Graduation Rate, and College-Goingindicators of readiness for high schools. Each of these indicators is reviewed in more detail below.
ACT. Strive HI measures the percentage of 11th
graders who scored at or above 19 onas part of the College and Career Readiness measure. ACT composite scores range from 1 (low) to(high). The University of Hawaii research notes that a score of 19 predicts success in local collegecourses. Statewide, 34% of eleventh graders scored a 19 or above on the ACT exam both in 2012-and 2013-2014. In charter schools, 25% of eleventh graders scored a 19 or above on the ACT in 22014.

e. Achievement Gap Achievement gaps are calculated for the current year and over the past two years between
Needs Students and Non-High Needs Students. The current gap rate is calculated by dividing thedifference between the proficiency rates of Non-High Needs and High Needs Students by the profirate of Non-High Needs Students. The two-year gap reduction rate measures how much the currenyear gap has closed over the past two years. For two-year gap reduction rate, a positive gap rateindicates that a gap is closing and negative gap rate indicates that a gap is growing. A gap closes aNeeds and Non-High Needs Students achieve increasingly similar proficiency rates on an assessmeSchools earn more points on this measure as this gap closes and all students achieve higher rates of
proficiency ( i.e., as the proficiency rate increases toward 100%).
The current gap rate between High Needs and Non-High Needs Students statewide is35%. Overall, the current gap rate among charter schools is 23%, a moderate gap rate. Statewide,two-year gap reduction rate is -4%. However, in charter schools, the average two-year gap reductirate is 12%, indicating that schools are moderately closing the gap.

c. Performance of Virtual and Blended Schools The Commission considers a school that uses an online instructional model in which stude
typically spend fewer than five hours per week in a school building to be a virtual school. BlendedLearning is the delivery of instruction in a combination of time on-site in a supervised, physical locaway from home and online delivery where the student has some control over the time, place, pathand/or pace of learning.
Under these definitions, Myron B. Thompson Academy is considered a Virtual School. HTechnology Academy has a significant Blended Learning Program. Other charter schools have somelement of blended learning, but not a significant enough one to be discussed here.
The average Math proficiency rate among students in the Blended and Virtual Schools wacompared to the statewide Math proficiency average of 59% and an average of 46% proficien
charter school students as a whole. In Reading, 86% of students in the Blended and Virtual schoolachieved proficiency, 16 percentage points higher than the statewide average of 70% and 22 percenpoints higher than the charter school average of 64%.
In conclusion, the collective academic performance of students in charter schools improvefrom the 2012-2013 school year, on average, in every measure of Strive HI, except for Readingproficiency and elementary school Chronic Absenteeism However these improved proficiency ra

proficiency and elementary school Chronic Absenteeism. However, these improved proficiency ra
still fell below the statewide averages for Reading, Math, and Science. The overall proficiency ratHigh Needs Students in charter schools exceeded the statewide average by two percentage points, bwhen the High Needs Students are broken down into subgroups, the charter school performance felbelow the statewide average in each measure, sometimes drastically. In the measurement of growtcharter schools were only slightly behind the statewide average. On the 11th grade ACT exam, whscore of 19 or above indicates that the student is likely to experience success in local college cours44% of charter school students tested scored a 19 or above, while statewide the average was 34%.
Charter schools fell slightly below statewide averages on the other high school college readinessmeasures of On-Time Graduation and the College-Going Rate.
With the second year of Strive HI results and the first year of analyzing student academicperformance through the Commission’s Academic Framework, charter schools have a much context for evaluating their student outcomes and can better diagnose their own strengths and identareas in need of improvement. Both of these evaluation systems provide the schools with multiplepoints from which they can make informed decisions about effective instructional practices to targeneeds of their unique student population. The Commission will continue to work with school goveboards and directors to help them to understand the data points in these reports and examine thecontext for evaluating student performance. There are some encouraging signs in the 2013-2014results, and some schools are performing strongly, but it is clear that much work remains to be don
B. 13B12BFinancial Performance1. 22B25BFinancial Performance Framework
The Financial Performance Framework is used to evaluate a school’s financial healthviability on an ongoing basis and for the purposes of an annual review. The Financial PerformanceFramework measures, listed in the chart below, are divided into two general categories: near-term sustainability. Near- term measures illustrate the school’s financial health and viability in thyear. Schools that attain a “Meets Standard” rating for a near -term measure likely have a lowfinancial distress in the upcoming year. Sustainability measures are designed to show the schfinancial health and viability over the long term. Schools that receive a “Meets Standard” rasustainability measure have a lower risk of financial distress in the future. No single measure givespicture of a school’s financial situation, but taken together , the measures provide a morecomprehensive assessment.
The Commission’s Financial Performance Framework has a two -tiered review proceswhich schools receive a preliminary rating and a final rating. The preliminary rating indicates wheon its face the school has met the standard If a school has not met standard the Commission cond

reviews detainformation, and clarifies its understanding with the school ’s leadership to determine whethedata truly constitute an indication of financial risk or distress. If the school’s overall financishows that the school is financially viable, the school will receive a final rating of “Meets Stoverall. A copy of the full Financial Performance Framework in its form as of this writing is attachAppendix D .
A description of each measure and how it is calculated follows:
Current Ratio. This measures a school’s ability to pay its obligations over the next tmonths and is calculated by dividing the school’s current assets by its current liabilities. A ragreater than 1.0 means that a school’s c urrent assets exceed its current liabilities, which indicatis able to meet its current obligations. In order to meet standards, schools must have a ratio of 1.1 above.
Unrestricted Days Cash. This measure indicates whether a school maintains a sufficienbalance to meet its cash obligations. The measure looks at a fixed point in time (the time the finanstatement is prepared), but cash balances fluctuate since schools can expend and receive money on almost daily basis. Although this measure is at a fixed point in time, it does indicate whether a schmay have challenges in meeting its cash obligations. Note that this measure looks at unrestricted cnot cash that already has been earmarked for a specific purpose, like repairs or staffing. This measdetermined by dividing the unrestricted cash balance by the total expenses for the year, lessdepreciation, and then dividing that quotient by 365 days to determine the number of days of cash. order to meet this standard, the school must have at least sixty days of unrestricted cash.
Enrollment Variance. This measure is important because it drives the development budget. Per-pupil funding is the primary source of revenue for charter schools, so student enrollmea key driver of the school’s revenue. Per -pupil counts also determine a school’s expenses beprovide the basis for determining costs like staffing and supplies. Variance shows the actual enroll
versus the projected enrollment. A school that budgets based on projected enrollment that issignificantly more than its actual enrollment may not be able to meet all of its budgeted expenses. indicator is calculated by dividing actual student enrollment by projected student enrollment. In oto meet this standard, a school ’s actual enrollment variance must be at least 95% of projected
Total Margin. This measures whether a school is living within its available resources in particular year. The intent of this measure is not for the schools to be profitable , but “it ischarter schools to build a reserve to support growth or sustain the school in an uncertain funding

charter schools to build a reserve to support growth or sustain the school in an uncertain funding
environment.”1046F
47
This measure is calculated by dividing net income by total revenue. In order tothis standard, a school must have a positive margin, which shows that a school has a surplus at the of the year.
Debt to Assets Ratio. This measure compares a school’s obligations against the as“In other words, it measures the extent to which the school relies on borrowed funds to finance itoperations.” 110F47F
48 Generally, a lower ratio indicates stronger financial health. This measure is calcul
dividing a school’s total liabilities by its total assets. Since many of the charter schools do not buildings they occupy, a more reasonable ratio of .50 is the standard.
Cash Flow. This measure indicates a trend in a school’s cash balance over a year andtwo-year period (since the Financial Performance Framework was adopted). This measure is simildays cash on hand, but it provides insight into a school’s long -term stability, as it helps to asseschool’s sustainability over a period of time in an uncertain funding environment. This mecalculated by comparing the cash balance at the beginning of a period to the cash balance at the endthe period. In order to meet standard, a school ’s balance at the end of the period must be the cash balance at the beginning of the year.
Unrestricted Fund Balance Percentage. This measures the equity a school has accumwhich can serve as a reserve for unexpected situations or to help fuel growth. This measure iscalculated by dividing a school’s fund balance by its tot al expenses. By using the school’s tin the denominator, the fund balance is evaluated from the perspective of the school, making themeasure comparable among all schools while eliminating advantages or disadvantages based on schsize. In order to meet this standard, the percentage must be 25% or greater. If a school meets thestandard, it should be financially able to sustain an unexpected change in circumstances.
Change in Total Fund Balance. This measure indicates sound financial viability based overall financial record of a school. This measures the trend in the total fund balance to identifyfluctuations in the total fund balance over time. This measure is calculated by comparing the fund
balance at the beginning of a multi-year period to the fund balance at the end of the period. In ordemeet this standard, a school ’s fund balance at the end of a period must be greater than the bthe beginning of the period.

Overall, the schools were generally in good financial positions as of June 30, 2014, but thebeen a slight deterioration in their positions from last fiscal year. Last year, when the individualmeasures were analyzed on a consolidated basis, 111F48F
49 the data indicated that challenges lay aheadthere were issues with schools reaching standards for long term sustainability indicators. Data thatschools have provided for the 2013-2014 fiscal year suggest that this prediction will be fulfilled. Wthere was overall improvement in some near term measures, schools still show signs of struggling tmeet targets for these measures. Even more schools are having difficulty meeting standards for thelong term sustainability indicators.

Three schools hit all targets while one school failed to meet all targets in FY 2013-2014. Ttwo of thirty-three charter schools met standards overall.
The consolidated Total Margin for charter schools is 0%, or break-even for this year. Thisimprovement over last year’s consolidated margin of -3% but is cause for concern. The medianMargins across all schools is 0%. One conclusion that may be reached is that the schools, as a who

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hawaii-charter-schools-annual-report 79/268
managing their operations on a break-even basis. If the margins continue at this level, schools willunable to create and maintain reserves in the coming years, posing significant challenges and risks.
Total Margin directly impacts the Change in Total Fund Balance since the Total Fund Balameasure of the reserves that the school has built over time. If a school’s Total Margin is posiyear (meaning it has a surplus at the end of the year), the school can use this surplus to build its TotFund Balance. Negative Total Margins decrease the Total Fund Balance, while positive Total Margincrease the Total Fund Balance. When analyzed on a consolidated basis, the current Total FundBalance is a negative number: -$1,075,155. This is an improvement over las t year’s changebalance of -$2,175,280. The possible explanations for this continued negative number include (1) despite a consolidated margin of 0%, some schools operated at a loss, and/or (2) that schools investtheir physical facilities to the point of impacting this measure. 112F49F
50 The consolidated Change inBalance of -$1,075,155 represents .67% of revenues. This is consistent with the consolidated TotalMargin for all charter schools of 0% and suggests that the schools effectively operated at break-eve
The Total Margin also directly influences Cash Flow for the year, since Cash Flow is thecomparison of inflows (revenues and receipts) and out flows (expenses and payments) over a periotime. On a consolidated basis, the net Cash Flow for the fiscal year was $1,774,441, which represeincrease in cash of approximately 7% across the charter schools. This particular measure is reassurbecause it indicates schools were able to build reserves, at least for this year.
In conclusion, charter schools appear to have exercised sound stewardship of State funds.
schools are on solid footing for FY15, while some schools show signs of struggling with increasedoperating costs while trying to maintain the quality of their programs. Overall, schools met the neaterm measures. However, meeting the longer term sustainability measures presented more of achallenge for most schools. This reinforces the concern that the charter schools may not be on firmfinancial footing for the long term if current levels of available funding remain essentially flat in coyears and/or if schools are unable to realize cost savings.
One school, Hālau Lōkahi Public Charter School,actually became financially insolvent2014, when it could not meet its payroll and other operational cost obligations. The financial evalufor this school as of June 30, 2013, had found that the school was not meeting standard, with seventhe eight measures either below standard or far belo w standard.

As the Commission has implemented the Financial Performance Framework, it has becomevident that receiving consistent and quality data from the schools is essential. Data analysis has pto be a challenge when the data submitted by the schools is inconsistent. To address this issue, theCommission continues to explore the possibility of standardizing a chart of accounts for all schoolsTaking this step would ensure that all schools use the same accounts consistently to reflect the saminformation, but accomplishing this could present difficulties for the schools. Under the terms of thCharter Contract, this will occur only with input from the schools.
The financial performance of the individual charter schools is contained in their individualperformance summaries, attached to this report as Appendix A . The individual school reporadditional notes showing how , under the Commission’s two -tiered review process, some schohave been given a rating of “Meets Standard” on a measure even if the data on that measure doon its face, meet the standard.

1. 24B27BOrganizational Performance FrameworkThe purpose of the Organizational Performance Framework is to communicate to the char
schools and the public the compliance-related standards the schools must meet and to help hold schaccountable for doing so. Compliance with state and federal law, administrative rules, and contractrequirements (such as the Charter Contract, collective bargaining agreements, and any supplementaagreements to the collective bargaining master agreements) is included in the OrganizationalPerformance Framework.
The Organizational Performance Framework currently is divided into six categories: EduProgram, Financial Management and Oversight, Governance and Reporting, Students and EmployeSchool Environment, and Additional Obligations. Each of these categories has measures used toevaluate schools. For example, under Education Program there are four measures. The first measuunder Education Program is, “ Is the school implementing the material elements of its EducationProgram as defined in the Charter C ontract?” A school is assigned a rating for each of the m

2. 25B28BEvaluation Process for 2013-2014 Preliminary Organizational Performance AssessmentThe intent of the Organizational Performance Framework is to implement an accountabilit
system that effectively monitors and assesses charter school compliance with federal, state, andcontractual requirements and addresses organizational capacity, while recognizing the autonomy ofschools and working towards minimizing their administrative and reporting burden. As a practical
matter, the Organizational Performance Framework cannot specifically address every compliancerequirement; rather, it serves as the starting point for compliance, as it helps explain why charterschools must comply with certain key legal and contractual requirements. For example, the CharteContract (Sections 6.1 and 11.4) requires schools to submit their policies on student conduct anddiscipline. The Organizational Performance Framework takes that contractual requirement and useto measure whether the school is protecting the rights of all students.
The Commission has been intentionally implementing the Organizational PerformanceFramework in an incremental manner to give its staff and the charter schools time to put necessarysystems in place and to address challenges in a thoughtful and practical manner, while at the same tbalancing the importance of compliance with the charter schools ’ ability to continue to fulfil

2013-2014 school year, the Commission conducted the Preliminary Organizational PerformanceAssessment (“POPA”), which expanded on the 2012-2013 school year assessment and took measufrom five categories —all except the catch-all category, Additional Obligations. The POPA was tstep in the development of a fair and effective monitoring and compliance system that recognizesschool autonomy while assuring stakeholders that charter schools are meeting their legal andcontractual obligations.
The POPA was formative in nature. It was designed to help the Commission determine wcharter schools were meeting basic requirements captured in the Organizational PerformanceFramework and to learn which requirements posed challenges to charter schools, why such challenexisted, and what the schools, the Commission, or other organizations could do to address thesechallenges. Charter schools were primarily assessed on their ability to submit required informationtimely basis; in other words, this was not a qualitative assessment. Partially based on the data gaththrough the POPA, the Commission will be focusing special efforts during the 2014-2015 school ye
teacher licensure and admission and enrollment policies and practices. The Commission hopes toinclude this additional information in its 2015 Annual Report to continue to build on the implementwork already done on the Organizational Performance Framework. Charter school performance onPOPA and feedback from schools also helped inform revisions to the Charter Contract and to thePerformance Frameworks themselves.
The POPA selected key compliance measures from each of the five major categories. Thefocused on the timely submittal of key information, but there were some items that were reviewed tdetermine compliance. The key compliance measures and the categories are as follows:
1. Education Program. Charter schools were assessed on the timely submittal of: EssentiaTerms 119F56F

2. Financial Management and Oversight. Charter schools were assessed on the timely suof quarterly financial statements, annual audits, and annual budgets to the Commission.
3. Governance and Reporting. Charter schools were assessed on whether statutory confliinterest requirements for governing board membership were fulfilled whether public post

5. School Environment. Charter schools were assessed on whether Certificates of Occupaall necessary building permits were timely submitted; whether each school met county FirDepartment requirements for school inspections and fire drills; whether a safety/emergencplan was timely submitted; whether each school met State Department of Health immunizrequirements; and whether each school notified parents of student privacy rights.

Also under the POPA, charter schools only were required this year to have plans to develoimplement both principal and teacher evaluations. The charter schools had the choice of opting in the DOE’s new Educator Effectiveness System (“ EES”) and/or the DOE’s new ComprehensivSystem for School Administrators (“CESSA”), but all opted instead to develop their own sysMoving forward, charter schools will need to complete the process of developing and implementinthese evaluations, which will require the negotiation of supplemental collective bargaining agreemewith the relevant public worker unions.
In summary, most of the charter schools performed well on the POPA by submitting therequired information by the January deadline, allowing them to achieve a rating of “Meets most, if not all, of the five areas assessed. Since the intention of the POPA was to assess areas ofcompliance that may present some difficulties for charter schools, the Commission worked with eigschools, allowing them to submit the required information after the initial deadline but during thereview period, which enabled these schools as well to meet the standard.

All charter schools initially were given the same one-year contract term for the 22014 school year, in part to give the Commission the opportunity to revisit the Charter Contract anPerformance Framework and make necessary revisions before adopting the first multi-year CharterContract.

A. 15B14BAuthorizing FunctionsPursuant to statute, HRS §302D-5, authorizers are charged with a number of essential pow

diversity of educational choices
Declining to approve weak or inadequate charter applications;
Negotiating and executing sound Charter Contracts with each approved public charter sch
Monitoring, in accordance with Charter Contract terms, the performance and legal compli
of public charter schools; and
Determining whether each Charter Contract merits renewal, nonrenewal, or revocation.
The Commission fulfilled five of these six powers and duties during the 2013-2014 schoolThe last remaining power and duty —making renewal, nonrenewal, or revocation determinationnot exercised due to the fact that the Charter Contract that was negotiated at the end of the 2013-20
school year was not a renewal of the previous one-year Charter Contract but the entering into theCommission’s first multi-year contract. During the 2013-2014 school year, the Commission wenthrough a charter school application cycle where it solicited and evaluated charter applications,approved one quality charter application, and declined weaker charter applications.

In addition to fulfilling its statutorily charged duties, the Commission also provides humanresources support for schools that do not purchase payroll and human resources from DOE, providefederal program support, acts as a point of contact between other State agencies (such as theDepartment of Human Resources Development, the Hawaii Employees’ Retirement System,Hawaii Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund), serves as a point of contact for charter schoosector-wide issues relating to unions, and provides information systems support for schools, among
other functions. The Commission is evaluating the functions it provides to charter schools anddetermining whether and to what degree any of these functions conflict with the Commissiauthorizer. The Commission has continued to provide many functions, such as payroll and humanresources support so that charter schools could continue to operate seamlessly. However, theCommission is exploring ways to increase capacity in the schools to ensure that schools or other thparties can assume some of these necessary non-authorizer functions.

VIII. 9B8BConclusion
Events during and since the 2013-2014 school year have continued to highlight both thesuccesses and strengths of Hawaii ’s charter school system as well as its continued challengeweaknesses. Difficult but relatively rapid progress continues to be made, despite some setbacks, torealizing the vision of Act 130 for a vigorous and accountable chartering system.
Among the Commission’s priorities during the 2014 -2015 fiscal year are:
Continuing to gain experience with, and refining as necessary, the Academic, Organizand Financial Performance Frameworks;
Engaging with the DOE in discussions over potential revisions to Strive HI and the ondevelopment of an educational infrastructure that fully reflects the fact that Hawaii haofficial languages;
Developing the process and criteria for automatic extensions of Charter Contracts andcontract renewal;
Successfully implementing the new charter school start-up process, as well as a revisephased application process;
Continuing to improve the public transparency of charter schools and the Commission
Exploring with other stakeholders ways to address capacity challenges among the chai l l i i i f h C i i ’
Improving engagement with charter school governing boards in recognition of theirincreased importance to accountability and school capacity under Act 130;
Reviewing and approving the admissions and enrollment policies and practices of all schools;

8/10/2019 Hawaii charter schools annual report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hawaii-charter-schools-annual-report 205/268
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK
The Financial Performance Framework is an accountability tool that provides the Commission with data necassess the financial health and viability of charter schools in its portfolio on an ongoing basis and for the puan annual review. The framework summarizes a charter school ’s current financial health while taking school ’s financial trends over a period of three years. The measures are designed to be complementary. No measure gives a full picture of the financial situation of a school. Taken together, however, the measures prov
comprehensive assessment of the school ’s financial health and viability based on a school ’s historicfinancial situation, and future viability.
Within each annual reporting period, the Financial Performance Framework provides for an initial review and a assessment that together produce two ratings: a Preliminary Rating and a Final Rating. The Preliminary Rating whether the school has met the standard for financial viability based on the Commission’s initial revieinformation, which, for an annual review, will be drawn from the school’s audited financials. The Final Commission’s revised assessment based on more curren t financial information and/or more detailed examschool’s financial position, as needed.
Preliminary Ratings
8/10/2019 Hawaii charter schools annual report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hawaii-charter-schools-annual-report 206/268
The Preliminary Rating is either Meets Target or Pending Further Analysis . The Meets rating means thatcontained in the financials under review indicates that the school is meeting or exceeding the target for the standquestion. The Pending rating means that the school is not meeting the target based on the financials under revi
that misses the target on any one measure may or may not be at financial risk. It may be in immedifinancially trending negatively, both or neither. There are two types of additional information that the Commneed before assigning a Final Rating. The first is more current information. When conducting a year-end ea school’s financials, the Commission will be reviewing audit numbers that are typically at least foutime the audit has been finalized. The Commission’s further an alysis will often include review of curfinancials. The second is more detailed information about the school’s financial position to assess ththe failure to meet the target. For example, a school might make a strategic long-term financial decision th
it missing a target in the near term. The Commission’s follow -up will consider the more current and minformation to determine whether the Preliminary Rating is still applicable and the degree to which it is, inindication of financial risk or distress.
Final Ratings
The Final Rating is Meets Target , Does Not Meet Target, or Falls Far Below Target .
Meets TargetAMeets rating i ndicates sound financial viability based on the overall financial record. Either the school h
Not Meet rating means that even based on more current financial information, the school is not currently target or concerns previously identified, although not currently manifested, have been of a depth or duratiowarrants continued attention.
Falls Far Below Target
A Falls Far Below rating indicates that upon further review following a preliminary Pending rating,identifies significant financial risk and has concerns about financial viability such that heightened monitoriintervention are necessary. The school’s rating will be based on both the most recent audited financicurrent unaudited financials. The Commission will also consider any relevant context for the schoolthat informs the causes of the school’s substantial shortcomings for the area in question. Appropriatand/intervention will be determined, in part, by how the rating on the standard in question fits withoverall performance on the framework.

8/10/2019 Hawaii charter schools annual report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hawaii-charter-schools-annual-report 215/268
ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK
The purpose of the Organizational Performance Framework is to communicate to the charter school and pubcompliance-related standards, which the charter school must meet. The Organizational Framework includesstandards that the charter school is already required to meet through state and federal law, rules or the chartecontract.
For each measure a school receives one of three ratings. For the purposes of defining organizational pe
accountability, “material” means w hether the information would be relevant and significant to decisions whether to renew, non-renew, or revoke a charter contract.
NACSA Principles & Standards (2012) states that,
“A Quality Authorizer implements an accountability system that effectively streamlines federal,state, and local…compliance requirements while protecting schools’ legally entitled autonomy andminimizing schools’ administrative and reporting burdens” (p. 16).

8/10/2019 Hawaii charter schools annual report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hawaii-charter-schools-annual-report 224/268
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK
The Academic Performance Framework includes measures that allow the Commission to evaluate thperformance or outcomes and was developed in accordance to the Hawaii Charter Schools Act (2012 Haw.Act 130, §16 at 41-43.). This section answers the evaluative question: Is the academic program a success? school that meets the standards in this area is implementing its academic program effectively, and student lethe central purpose of every school —is taking place.
For each measure, a school receives one of four ratings: “Exceeds Standard,” “Meets Standard,” “Standard ,” or “Falls Far Below Standard.”
Standard Goals: State and federal accountability system
The Strive HI Academic Performance Index (API) is based on school performance in four categories:
Student proficiency
Student growth
College and career readiness:
Elementary schools: Attendance

Middle Schools: 8 th grade ACT EXPLORE
High Schools: Graduation rate, 11 th grade ACT, and college-going rate
Achievement gaps
1.a. Is the school meeting acceptable standards according to Strive HI?
Note: For schools serving more than one grade level, such as K-8 or K-12 charter schools, theCommission will review the API for each division, as well as an overall API weighted by enrollment ateach division.
Exceeds S tandard :
The school received an API at or above the 90 th percentile statewide for schools serving thesame grade level.
Meets Standard :
8/10/2019 Hawaii charter schools annual report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hawaii-charter-schools-annual-report 226/268
AMO formula: Yearly Increase = ((1-Baseline Proficiency)*0.5)/5)Baseline proficiency = 68% (.68)Yearly Increase = ((1-.68)*0.5)/5)Yearly Increase = ((.32)*0.5)/5)Yearly increase = ((.16)/5)Yearly increase = .032
The school is expected to increase its rate of proficiency by 3.2% (.032) each year.
1 st Year AMO = .68 + .032 = .712 (71.2%)2 nd Year AMO = .712 + .032 = .744 (74.4%)3 rd Year AMO = .744 + .032 = .776 (77.6%)4 th Year AMO = .776 + .032 = .808 (80.8%)5 th Year AMO = .808 + .032 = .84 (84%)
This metric uses the state average additionally. A school that meets or exceeds the state average meets or exceeds thistandard even if it does not meet its AMO.
This metric uses the Established Minimum Proficiency as a floor. A school that does not at least meet the EstablishedMinimum Proficiency will be evaluated as Falls Far Below Standard for this measure.
2 Standard Goals: Performance of High-Needs Students
8/10/2019 Hawaii charter schools annual report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hawaii-charter-schools-annual-report 227/268
2. Standard Goals: Performance of High-Needs Students
The “High -Needs student” group includes all students with poverty status, special education status, oras a second language status. If there are insufficient numbers of these students at a school to meet HI DOEdata reporting thresholds, three-year pooled results will be included, if available. The High-Nused to avoid double-counting students who fall into two or more groups (for example, a student with bot
poverty and special education status). The Commission will continue to review disaggregated student performance results, including race/ethnicity, but will use the High-Needs evaluation for accountabilityevaluation, consistent with the state accountability system.
2.a . Are High-Needs students meeting or exceeding the statewide average proficiency rates for High-Needs students in reading and math?
Note: Reading and math are evaluated separately.
Exceeds Standard :
The school ’s average High-Needs proficiency rate is in the top 10 percent of statewide High-Needs performance in schools serving the same grades.
M t St d d
Fal ls Far Below Stand ard:
The school ’s average High-Needs proficiency rate is in the bottom 20 percent of statewide High-Needs performance of schools serving the same grades.
About 2a : This measure compares proficiency of a school’s High -Needs students against statewide averarates of all High- Needs students. The performance of school’s High -Needs population is compared only tschools serving the same grades. The metric uses a percentile ranking to evaluate performance.
2.b. Are High-Needs students showing growth in reading and math based on the Hawaii Growth Modelmedian growth percentiles (MGPs)?
Note: Reading and math are evaluated separately.
Exceeds S tandard :
Reading: High-Needs MGP is greater than 58.
Math: High-Needs MGP is greater than 62.
Meets Standard :
Reading: High-Needs MGP is between 52 and 58.
