The Restart Model

The Restart model is one in which an LEA converts a school or closes and reopens a school under a charter school operator, a charter management organization (CMO), or an education management organization (EMO) that has been selected through a rigorous review process.

• A restart model must enroll, within the grades it serves, any former student who wishes to attend the school.


• A rigorous review process could take such things into consideration as an
  applicant’s team, track record, instructional program, model’s theory of action,
  sustainability.


• As part of this model, a State must review the process the LEA will use/has used to select the partner.
