Charter School ECOT
Halfway through the academic year, one of the nation’s largest online charter schools, Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow (ECOT), is closing abruptly, leaving families of the roughly 12,000 Ohio students scrambling to find other schooling options. According to one Marietta Times article, “ECOT students would have to be accepted by their local public school districts, some of which already started preparing for that scenario.”
We can imagine that many students, families, and schools might be in panic-mode as they struggle to figure out what to do in light of the sudden ECOT school closure. Getting students, their transcripts, and other records transferred quickly and efficiently is just one of the challenges being faced. As area schools scramble to help, they may be wondering how they’ll be able to fund this unexpected growth and the costs associated with increased enrollment. This is where Charter School Capital can help. Whether your school is taking on many new students or just a few, we can help fill any funding gap so you can get back to your focus—educating kids.

In order to make sure other charter schools are able to re-home these students, we’re offering flexible funding to Ohio schools to offset the costs of teachers, staff, onboarding, and facilities in order to enroll them. We can secure funding to offset the unexpected costs in as little as 14-30 days to make sure you can serve those students. Let us know how we can help.

Get started by filling out our interest form, emailing us at growcharters@charterschoolcapital.com, or calling our Ohio representative Michelle Godin directly at 971.634.1897.

Charter School Capital Values

SHARING OUR VALUES

At Charter School Capital, we hold each other accountable to core company values as the driving force and foundation of what we do. These values are our guiding principles as we work together to more effectively support the growth and development of our charter school partners. And, as a result, Charter School Capital is a proven catalyst for charter school growth. In CSC’s ten years, we are very proud to say that we’ve helped finance the education of more than 800,000 students in over 600 charter schools across the United States.
We measure everything we do by these core values:

  • Best-in-Class
  • Empowerment
  • Innovation
  • Teamwork
  • Accountability

In this blog series, we wanted to spotlight how all of us at CSC work to exemplify these core values. For this, the first post of the series, we’ll dive deeper into what best-in-class means to us and how we strive to meet such an aspirational goal.
As the newest member of the Charter School Capital team, it’s already become clear to me—and quite refreshing—that best-in-class is indeed a way of life here. I see it in the way everyone interacts with each other on a daily basis, I see it in the support and encouragement I’ve received since day one – from everyone – regardless of their department, and I see it in how individuals and teams coach and enable each other to succeed by helping schools succeed in educating more and more students each day.

BEST-IN-CLASS

Charter School Capital ValuesTo get some expert insight into how we strive to be best-in-class, I sat down with Nancy Edmiston, Assistant General Counsel for Charter School Capital (CSC). Nancy was selected as the embodiment of the Best-in-Class value here at CSC, so I was really looking forward to getting to know her better—and learn why leadership had chosen her as their representative on this value. And, after meeting with her, it became clear.
Nancy has been with CSC for a little over three years now and been an integral part of CSC’s continued growth and the development of the CSC corporate culture.  Because it’s such a lofty subject, we broke down our discussion into several topics that embody “best-in-class” attributes and how CSC sets about living up to those values.
We deliver. According to Nancy, what’s best for our clients is for us to develop and deliver a dependable and reliable financing product to our customer. “There’s a lot of pride in ownership in the delivery of such a high-quality product,” she said.
“Best in class for us is being able to provide products that are tailored to serve the needs of charter schools and the teachers out there who are providing educations to all of their students. And there’s a certain reliability when you’re best in class, you’re accountable, you empower your employees both individually and as a team to develop it all—and in the end, it benefits the customer.”
For all of at CSC, best-in-class means “when our clients succeed, we succeed.” But I wanted to get Nancy’s take…
“We put our schools’ success at the forefront, working with them beyond just helping them finance their growth or facility. We help them when things might get tough as well and help figure out why it is that everything’s upside down, and what we have to do to right the ship again to get them back on course. We’re providing a lot of value-added guidance, services and advice to help right those upside-down schools. Because their success is our success.
And, as a function of us having provided financing, we’ve actually helped a lot of schools become stronger over the long run. Because, as we’re providing finances and we’re seeing some early signals that there may be problems on the horizons, we can start proactively working with them to help. We can help them better understand that they may need to trim expenses so that they’re not in the red or even introduce them to back office providers who might be able to provide a service that would help them with their bookkeeping and other administrative support.
Being best in class means continually asking, are you best at serving the needs of your client? Does this help our client? Are we beneficially serving the charter school movement and the charter schools that we work with? Because our mission is to help the charter schools—and be able to deliver all of the products and provide services that fulfill the needs of the charter school movement, as a whole,” says Nancy.

CONCLUSION

After my inspiring chat with Nancy Edmiston, I can easily say that I was even more enthusiastic about being a part of the CSC team. And, I was able to glean the heart of CSC’s motivation behind achieving this aspirational “best-in-class” goal: Everything we do at Charter School Capital is in service to the mission, in service to our clients, and service to the charter school movement.
 

National School Choice Week2018 National School Choice Week Wrap Up

With over 32,000 events and rallies of every size taking place from coast to coast, the 2018 National School Choice Week did not disappoint!  The rally cry reached far and wide … and it had a very clear message—educational opportunities and choices for our children should never be limited. We all deserve the freedom to choose whether traditional public schools, public charter schools, private schools, online schools, or home schools are right for our students’ individualized needs.
The issue of school choice appears to be quite polarizing in today’s tumultuous political climate. But, according to a new poll from the American Federation for Children, school choice is highly prized by parents and voters. Fully 63 percent of likely voters support school choice, including a majority of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. Support for public charter schools is even higher, at 72 percent. I’d say that’s wide-ranging support.
That support was certainly evident this week. Donning their bright yellow scarves with pride, students, their teachers, school leaders, families, and communities enthusiastically and passionately danced, sang, and spoke at capitol buildings, universities, public squares, libraries, museums, schools, and other public areas across the country. And, at the University of Las Vegas in Nevada, more than 2000 people gathered together to celebrate school choice! Now that’s an impressive show of school-choice allegiance! Take a look at other highlights from this year’s events here. Want a reason to smile? Take a look at some fantastic highlights and adorable videos from some of those singing and dancing students!
Charter School Capital was thrilled to be a part of the conversation and watch the hashtag #schoolchoice jump to a top-trending hashtag this week! We believe that it’s important to shine the spotlight on effective schools, educational options, and empowerment not only during National School Choice Week but every week of the year. And it’s our commitment to do just that.
Together, we can keep that conversation going. Tell us how you celebrated National School Choice Week 2018 and use the hashtags #WeLoveCharterSchools and #SchoolChoice! Find us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
 

Charter School Facilities

 


 

However, charter schools already struggle to access adequate and affordable school buildings and charter schools generally lack access to the same funding and financing mechanisms as most school districts. To make matters worse, the House version of the tax bill would eliminate three financial instruments that charter schools use for the construction, renovation, and expansion of school buildings. Should the House prevail in the conference committee, it would be a giant step backward for charter schools. Should the Senate prevail, we would maintain the status quo, which is necessary—but far from sufficient—to meet the large and growing demand for high-quality charter schools.
The Charter School Facilities Initiative (CSFI), a national research project and partnership, has studied charter school facilities and facilities costs in 19 states. Over the past three years, the CSFI team has conducted five charter school landscape surveys: Ohio in 2014-15, Albuquerque and Delaware in 2015-16, and Colorado and New Hampshire in 2016-17. These recent surveys are indicative of broader national trends and these five locations represent more than 650 charter schools – or nearly 10 percent of all charter schools nationwide. Across these five locations, charter schools face clear challenges in acquiring and paying for suitable facilities:

  1. The majority of charter schools (53 percent) were renting or leasing space from a non-profit organization or a commercial entity. In fact, only 27 percent of charter schools had constructed their own building. The remaining 20 percent were located in a district or government building (16 percent) or had a mixed ownership structure (4 percent). Not surprisingly, nearly half of charter schools (49 percent) were located in buildings that were not originally intended to be a school.
  2. Nearly half of charter schools (49 percent) were in school buildings that did not have space for their anticipated enrollment in five years. Parent demand for charter schools is increasing, but facilities constraints are restricting supply. For charter schools that were planning to grow but were limited by their current school building, only 51 percent had developed a specific, feasible plan to construct or acquire additional space.
  3. Nearly one in five charter schools (17 percent) had to delay their opening date by a year or more due to facilities related issues. The inability of new charter schools to find an adequate and affordable school building is a major barrier to the continued growth and health of the sector. Facilities related issues have discouraged countless other developing groups from submitting or completing their application.
  4. Charter schools spent an average of $748 per pupil on rental and/or financing payments after accounting for any state facilities assistance. This spending on facilities diverts critical funds away from the classroom and limits programming options for charter school students. In addition, 40 percent of charter schools completed a major capital project in the past five years in order to renovate, upgrade, or otherwise maintain their facilities—and the median capital project cost nearly $500,000.
  5. Forty percent of charter schools did not have the ideal amenities, nor desired specialized classrooms, to best implement their educational model. Most instruction during the school day takes place in general classrooms; however, specialized instructional spaces, such as science labs, libraries, and computer labs, are an important part of a comprehensive educational program—and charter schools often go without these types of spaces.

The lack of affordable and adequate school buildings limits the growth of high-performing operators, limits the ability of new and independent charter schools to open, diverts critical funds away from the classroom, and limits programming options for charter school students. Congress should work to expand access to programs that help charters schools obtain school buildings—not take them away. In addition, states and districts should also provide charter schools with equitable access to public space. Without equitable access and resources, millions of students and families will continue to wait for a seat at one of these innovative public schools.


Do you need to expand, renovate, or move your charter school?  We’d love to support you. It’s our mission to help you educate more students, so we focus on providing products and services that enable you to meet – and exceed – both your growth and facility goals. When you succeed, we succeed—it’s that simple.

EDITORS NOTE: This article was originally published here on January 3, 2018, and was authored by the President of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, Michael J. Petrilli. We think it’s vital to keep tabs on the pulse of educational reform and hope you find this—and any other article we curate—both interesting and valuable.

Education Reform 2018The 5 Big Educational Reform Stories of 2018

Advertisements for investment funds always say that past performance is no guarantee of future results; in the case of my forecasting skills, that’s probably a good thing. After all, in 2016 I claimed that Donald Trump would never become president, and a year ago I thought that 2017 might be the year of coming back together again. So in the spirit of third time’s a charm, not three strikes and you’re out, here’s what I see coming down the pike in 2018.

  1. NAEP. The release of the National Assessment of Educational Progress results is always big news, but I have a hunch that this one will be bigger than usual. That’s because it’s been a long time since we’ve seen significant progress on the Nation’s Report Card and analysts will consider this round a legitimate indicator of the success or failure of Obama-era reforms. I’ll admit to being worried that gains will be minimal. The headwinds of the 2008 recession and the changing demographic mix of the student population are significant. Still, if states’ higher standards and tougher tests are leading to real changes in the classroom—especially as schools adopt high quality curriculum like Eureka Math—we ought to start seeing a bump soon, at least at the fourth grade level. If not, color me worried. Meanwhile, state-by-state results will give us lots to chew on as well. Will Arizona continue to defy the doubters? Will Tennessee and D.C. continue their climb out of the cellar? And will curriculum-based reform prove its mettle in Louisiana? Stay tuned.
  2. The Janus Supreme Court case. I thought the Friedrichs decision was going to be the big ed reform news a few years ago—until Justice Scalia went and passed away. But its sequel is back, and barring another unforeseen event the forthcoming decision will likely place a significant curb on the fundraising abilities of the teachers unions. A majority of the justices are likely to rule that unions can’t charge “agency fees” to non-members—making it financially advantageous for more teachers to drop out of their union, and allowing non-members to cease paying into it. That’s especially likely for politically conservative teachers, who may be tired of supporting causes with which they disagree. Given that three in ten teachers nationwide voted for President Trump, it’s not hard to imagine the NEA especially losing a significant amount of revenue and clout. That in turn could weaken the relationship between the teachers unions and the Democratic Party, with big pro-reform implications, especially in blue states.
  3. Gubernatorial elections. I’ve given up on the notion that America’s political polarization will come to an end anytime soon. Both parties have too many incentives to play to their bases as the mid-term elections approach. But while the makeup of Congress will only have a marginal impact on education reform going forward, given ESSA’s devolution of power to the states, who wins the races for the governors’ mansions in the thirty-six states with elections this November could have major implications for the years ahead. California is the big prize; can reformers keep the union-endorsed Gavin Newsom from winning? In Colorado, can at least one of the reform candidates—Mike Johnston or Jared Polis—make it through the Democratic primary? Will a Democratic wave election spell doom even for popular, reform-seeking Republicans in deep blue states, namely Charlie Baker (Massachusetts), Larry Hogan (Maryland), and Bruce Rauner (Illinois)? And will reform ideas like accountability and school choice be more or less popular once all the electioneering is done?
  4. School discipline. 2017 ended with a flurry of activity and opining on the issue of school discipline, especially as it relates to Washington’s role in the matter. But while the Trump Administration has started to hear from both sides, it has yet to tip its hand about its intentions. As someone who wants the Obama-era policy on school discipline revised or rescinded, I very much hope we’ll see action on this front in 2018. Not that it’s easy, given the real conundrum involved in addressing racial discrimination without making our schools less safe or jumping to dubious conclusions from raw data on student suspensions. The fact that our president has a proclivity toward making racially divisive statements doesn’t help either.
  5. The first release of school ratings under ESSA. After years of debate and design, this summer will bring the debut of school report cards that reflect the new requirements and flexibility of the Every Student Succeeds Act. The greater focus on student growth versus mere proficiency in most states should make it somewhat likelier for high-poverty schools to get decent grades, but it could also result in many schools in affluent suburbs getting mediocre marks. It’s conceivable that this could spark an ed reform movement among soccer moms. Regrettably, yet another testing backlash is likelier.

So there you have it. Yes, it’s a mixed bag, with only glimmers of good news to look forward to. Then again, the dumpster fire that was 2017 turned out to be surprisingly kind to education reform; here’s hoping that 2018 will do the same.

California Budget Proposal

Overview

This week, the Governor presented his final Californian budget proposal.  As he has in the past, the Governor was very cautious about proposing spending on new programs.  He also continued to warn about recessions that might be around the corner for Californians.  This manifests itself in the budget as an increase in the ‘rainy day’ fund that has been established to protect the state against future economic downturns.
Now that his budget has been introduced, the legislature will begin budget subcommittee hearings on the proposal and then, in early May, the Governor will release the May Revision of his budget to reflect tax receipts and revenue projections.  The legislature will then pass a final budget for the Governor’s signature by June 15th.  Below are some education highlights from the proposal.
2018-19 Budget Proposal includes:

  • $135 billion in General Fund revenues
  • $15 billion total state budget reserves
  • $78.3 billion Proposition 98 guarantee
  • $2.9 billion for full implementation of LCFF
  • $1.8 billion one-time, discretionary funding ($295 per ADA)

For charter schools specifically, the budget proposes an ongoing increase of $28.3 million to the SB 740 Charter School Facility Grant Program. With $112 million in the base, this increase results in about $140 million in ongoing funds in 2018-19.

Proposition 98 and LCFF Implementation

The Department of Finance (DOF) calculates the 2018-19 Proposition 98 guarantee to be $78.3 billion, an increase of $3.8 billion over the 2017-18 Proposition 98 guarantee provided in the 2017 Budget Act. The DOF’s Proposition 98 calculation is a little higher than the $77.8 billion estimate by the LAO in November 2017. Based on revenue growth, the 2017-18 guarantee was increased by $700 million to $75.2 billion, and an additional $3.1 billion was added for 2018-19.
Growth in Proposition 98 allows the Governor to achieve “full implementation” of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) in 2018-19, two years earlier than anticipated when this school funding reform was adopted six years ago. The budget proposes about $2.9 billion to close the remaining LCFF funding gap, including a cost of living adjustment (COLA) of 2.51%. This is welcome news, and schools will now actually receive the LCFF grant amounts (base, supplemental and concentration) calculated by the state rather than merely having those amounts be a “target.”

One-Time Discretionary Funding

Continuing his fiscally conservative approach over the last several years, the Governor avoids any significant on-going expenditures other than for LCFF, and proposes nearly $1.8 billion in discretionary, one-time funding for school districts, county offices, and charter schools. This amounts to about $295 per average daily attendee (ADA). These funds offset any outstanding mandated costs reimbursement claims by local educational agencies.

Special Education and Teachers

Last spring, the DOF held four special education stakeholder discussions, during which stakeholders expressed the need for a number of changes to the current special education system, including: more local transparency and accountability, additional financial support for special education, a shift to a system improving outcomes for students with disabilities, and integrating special education and general education into a cohesive system. However, it appears as if Jerry Brown has decided not to tackle major special education reform in his final year as Governor.
Instead, the Governor proposes $10 million in ongoing Proposition 98 funding for Special Education Local Plan Areas (SELPAs) to work with County Offices of Education (COEs) to provide technical assistance to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) to improve student outcomes. The proposal also places additional requirements on SELPAs, requiring them to complete a SELPA local plan template that aligns their services and resources with the goals in their member districts’ Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAPs) and to summarize how a SELPA’s planned expenditures and services align with the improved student outcomes strategies include in their SELPA plan.
To help address the state’s need for more special education teachers, the Governor has also provided $50 million for a Teacher Residency Grant Program to support locally sponsored, one-year clinical teacher preparation programs aimed at preparing and retaining special education teachers; and another $50 million for a Local Solutions Grant Program to provide competitive grants to LEAS to support locally identified solutions (new or existing) that address a local need for special education teachers, for a total of $100 million in one-time Proposition 98 funding.

Early Learning and Child Care Access

Aimed at increasing early education and case access for children aged zero to five years old, especially in low-income areas and areas with relatively low access to care, the Governor proposes to create the Inclusive Early Expansion Program. This competitive grant program would be funded using $125 million in one-time Proposition 98 funding and $42.2 million one-time federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program funding.
In the 2016 Budget Act, the Governor and Legislature entered into a multi-year agreement that included reimbursement rate increases and additional full-day State Preschool slots for the next three years. As part of the third and final year of that agreement, the Governor has provided an approximately 2.8% reimbursement rate increase for providers that contract directly with the California Department of Education and added the scheduled increase of 2,959 full-day slots to the State Preschool Program. The Budget also makes permanent the temporary hold harmless to the 2016 Regional Market Reimbursement Rate Survey for those providers accepting vouchers.

Genesee STEM Academy Charter School Expansion
We’re thrilled to share some fantastic news with you about the inspiring facility growth of one of our charter school customers, Genesee STEM Academy. Genesee STEM Academy is located in Flint, Michigan and is a top-tier K-9 Charter School authorized by Saginaw Valley State University. Last year, we worked closely with Genesee STEM Academy to complete their Phase I charter school expansion and now we’ve just helped them complete Phase II of their facility growth, adding an additional 14,300 square feet! This newest phase increases their available space with 13 classrooms, four administrative offices, student and faculty bathrooms, and upgrades to their auditorium.
We’re always thrilled to be a part of the growth and success of charter schools and help them better serve students – and their communities. We also know that they’re ecstatic about taking control of their own destiny.
This successful charter school expansion would not have been possible without the strong partnership between Charter School Capital and the dedicated team at Genesee STEM: including—but certainly not limited to—Laura Legardye, Rita Cheek, and Pasquale Battaglia.
At Charter School Capital, we understand that access to adequate charter school facilities continues to be one of the top challenges facing charter leaders today. There are currently more than 1 million students on charter school waitlists around the country and a relative lack of accessible financing options for charter facilities needs. In order to reach and teach more students and reduce these waitlists, charter schools require state of the art facilities that allow them to continue to build quality educational programs for student success.
It’s our mission to help charter schools with growth capital and facilities financing. Because we partner exclusively with charter schools, we understand the operational challenges their leaders face and can deliver financial resources charter schools need to maintain stability and grow. By leveraging the support of our team, charter leaders can stay focused on the school’s most important mission – educating students.
All of us at Charter School Capital are sending Genesee STEM Academy our heartfelt congratulations on their inspirational growth and success!
