A. BESE may approve alternate renewal standards for a charter school serving a unique student population or populations, or for a charter school that is not included in the Louisiana School and District Accountability System provided that: 1. the department determines that the school primarily serves a special or non-traditional student population or populations and mission, or the school is not included in the Louisiana School and District Accountability System; 2. the alternate renewal standards are set forth in a framework approved by BESE; and 3. the alternate renewal standards include specific academic performance criteria. B. The department shall develop the alternate renewal standards framework and shall engage with charter schools requesting use of such framework to determine the specific criteria to be included in the framework to be proposed for approval by BESE.
