1 National Charter School Study Legislative Analysis 2013

2 Introduction 2

3 Introduction Authorizing We reviewed provisions in states statutes that addressed roles and responsibilities of Authorizers and Schools Scope Reviewed statutes for 26 states (out of 43 states with charter schools) Reviewed statutes from the states first year they had a charter law and all the amendments they added through 2010 Reviewed only statutes (not regulations, not codes, not how statutes were implemented by states) 3

4 Introduction Multiple Sources LexisNexis & West Law Coding We started with The National Alliance for Public Charter School s (NAPCS) Model law components related to Authorizing. When we found language in the statute that satisfied a particular CREDO defined variable, we would mark that variable as 1. If no matching language in the statute could be found we marked the variable as a 0. Code as you go, if a state s statute had language that didn t match our CREDO variable we split variables out more specifically so all provisions could be coded as a either a 1 or 0 for each CREDO variable. 4

5 Research Questions Is there a common starting point, a fundamental architecture, in states first year provisions? If so what did it look like? Does We found the a essential framework evolve over time? If so in preponderance what ways? of states focusing on provisions Do states related learn to from each other? process instead of Does outcomes. the absence or presence of certain statutory provisions correlate with a state s charter effect size? We had the expectation that states are motivated to change legislation if it will impact quality but we found a mismatch between legislative language and the actual intent of the law. 5

8 Introduction These are 10 Components of the Alliance s Model Law that the CREDO Buckets did not look at: NAPCS 2) A Variety of Public Charter Schools Allowed 5) Adequate Authorizer Funding 11) Fiscally and Legally Autonomous Schools with Independent Public Charter School Boards 13) Automatic Exemptions from Many State and District Laws and Regulations 14) Automatic Collective Bargaining Exemption 15) Multi-School Charter Contracts and/or Multi-Charter Contract Boards Allowed 16) Extra-Curricular and Interscholastic Activities Eligibility and Access 18) Equitable Operational Funding and Equal Access to All State and Federal Categorical Funding 19) Equitable Access to Capital Funding and Facilities 20) Access to Relevant Employee Retirement Systems 8

10 Introduction What is the Essential Framework in states first year charter statutes? We counted how many states had a provision in their first year statute that fell within each of our CREDO buckets. Those buckets that had ½ of the states are what we consider to be the essential framework. For states first year statutes, there are 11 buckets that at least ½ of the states have one provision in. 10

32 Findings Local School Board v. Multiple Authorizers Due Process Provisions in States First Year Laws If charter is not renewed, then school has an opportunity to appeal There are 5 states that have There Local are School 21 states Board that as have the Multiple only Authorizers. (CA, PA, OR, TN, NM) LEA /5 Multiple Authoriz er /21 Authorizers must provide charter schools with due process for nonrenewal and revocation decisions (e.g., public hearing, 3/5 9/21 submission of evidence). State has designated an entity to hear appeal 4/5 8/21 Authorizers required to state reasons for denials in writing 4/5 9/21 Those states with LEAs as the only Authorizer, were more likely to have due process related provisions in their first year statutes than those states with Multiple Authorizers. 32

33 Findings Local School Board v. Multiple Authorizers Authorizer Oversight Provisions in States Amendments There are 5 states that have There Local are School 21 states Board that have as the Multiple only Authorizers. (CA, PA, OR, TN, NM) LEA 2010 Multiple Authorizer 2010 Contract defines responsibilities of authorizer 0/5 13/21 Authorizer must conduct annual performance review of school 0/5 5/21 Authorizer must annually report school performance to the state 0/5 5/21 Authorizer must annually report school financial status to the state 1/5 4/21 State restricts how much money Authorizers can take from schools. Authorizer must review performance prior to renewal 0/5 4/21 Those states with LEAs as the only Authorizer, were less likely to have due process related amendments than those states with Multiple Authorizers. 33

34 Charter Statutes General Non-Findings No Evidence of Exogenous Shock No Evidence of Follow the Leader No Evidence That Specific Provisions Are Drivers of Student Achievement No Evidence That Having Multiple Authorizers is Associated with Larger Effect Sizes 34

35 Summary of Findings 35

36 Summary of Findings Charter Law Statutes States operate independently Bad Acts By a Few Result in Burden on All States have decreasing confidence in authorizers Authorizers have decreased autonomy Authorizers regulated to increase due process & transparency Schools have an increased reporting burden 36

37 What Helps, What Hurts, and What Doesn t Matter?

38 Outline Analytic Approach Causal Findings Correlational Findings Implications 38

39 Analytic Approach Goal is to find provisions that lead to higher quality charters (causal relationships) Practical Challenges Simultaneous adoption within states a big problem Specificity of provisions is another problem Led to search for correlations/patterns of provisions and charter quality 39

40 Analytic Approach What we want to see in the data (multiple states changing the same provision, no sweeping changes, consistent effect on charter growth) Causal relationships tell us that if we change a provision, it will lead to a quantifiable change in growth Correlational relationships tell us that certain provisions are more common in high performing states Policymakers want causal findings Higher bar of evidence and harder to achieve 40

41 Things That Help (Causal) Positive and significant in every model for both math and reading X: Academic proficiency used in review process (32* days) Auth. or school may have preferences for sped students (29 days) Authorizer must conduct mid-term performance review (21 days) X: May deny renewal due to academics (20 days) X: May close due to academics (18 days) Auth. and school may have preferences for at-risk students (15 days) * This is the marginal charter growth effect expressed in days of learning. 41

42 Things That Hurt (Causal) Negative and Significant in every model for both math and reading Note: Direction of relationship unclear X: Clear Guidelines for Required Application Materials (-26 days) Authorizers can be placed on probation (-14 days) State restricts $ authorizers can take from schools (-36 days) X: Authorizer must conduct mid-term financial review (-45 days) School may have enrollment preferences for students at risk of academic failure (-39 days) 42

43 X Pack Findings Only 5 of 28* most common provisions in 2010 have causal impact, 3 positive and 2 negative States with higher % of X-pack in original law don t have higher charter growth Proportion of a state s law composed of X pack is also not related to charter growth The most common laws are not popular because they are necessarily the strongest drivers of charter growth * 21 X-pack provisions had sufficient variation to test their causal effect. 43

44 Amendments States that added most amendments had lower charter growth Note: These findings are based on correlations! Exceptions are states that made mainly proactive amendments (e.g MI, MO & LA) MI, MO & LA had an average of 39% reactive amendments & 35 days more growth in charters than TPS AR, AZ, NV, OH & UT had an average of 54% reactive amendments & 42 days less growth in charters than TPS 44

45 Cherished Beliefs Testing some popular provisions with a new lens Findings are correlational. If you don t have correlation, you probably don t have strong causation Charter growth if state: Always has provision / Added it / Never had it Multiple Authorizers: 7 days -15 days 14 days School Ability to Appeal: 12 days -15 days 34 days Due Process for School: -3 days -4 days 33 days Performance Reporting: 0 days 0 days 0 days Performance Monitoring: -5 days 11 days 0 days 45

46 Cherished Beliefs (cont.) What is the effect of charter caps on student growth? Average Charter Growth* 9 States Always Had Charter Cap: 28 days 6 States Never Had a Cap: -5 days 10 States Had a Cap and Removed it: 4 days 1 State Started With No Cap and Added it: -24 days * Average charter growth effect displayed in additional days of learning vs. matched students in local TPS 46

47 All About Authorizers Correlational Finding: Big difference between proactive and reactive legislative intervention into authorizer behavior Charter growth if state: Always has provision / Added it School can be placed on watch/probation 15 days -10 days Preference for schools serving at risk pupils 12 days -13 days School has opportunity for appeal 12 days -15 days Legislature defines authorizer responsibilities 12 days -8 days Auth. can modify terms based on school performance 11 days -4 days Clear guidelines for application components 7 days -12 days 47

48 Authorizers (Cont.) Correlational Finding: Legislatures should be wary of taking sides against authorizers on behalf of schools. Charter growth if state: Always has provision / Added it Due process for non-renewal 33 days -4 days Opportunity to appeal non-renewal 10 days -15 days Renewal process clearly defined by state 3 days -7 days States that don t allow multiple authorizers perform better (14 days) than states that did from the beginning (7 days) which perform better than states that add it (-15 days) 48

49 Implications Challenging to use rigorous empirical evidence to guide charter law Too much law is focused on process, not outcomes Proactive guidelines for authorizers good, reactive intervention is not Causal findings suggest active, evidence-based authorizing is good Essential framework is driven by professional judgment, little basis for quality improvement Get it right the first time, or chase your tails as charter quality suffers 49

50 Appendix Additional Slides 50

51 Limitations Scope 26 states out of 42 states Analysis through 2010 Reviewed only statutes (not regulations or codes) Analysis Implementation Fidelity did not account for what States are doing in practice Endogeneity- Political realities make it hard to identify the causal impact of changes to charter statutes, given their tendency to be adopted "en masse." We found many challenges to drawing causal inferences, including many laws being adopted in the same state in the same year (simultaneous treatment causing either perfect collinearity or multi collinearity) 51
