Policies, processes, and procedures are necessary to run a successful, quality charter school. All three can help determine the most efficient and effective way to complete a task, provide guidance to your staff on how to do their jobs confidently and competently, and most importantly help ensure a quality school that is fulfilling its legal mandate to improve student achievement!
