By August 1 of each year, each charter school in New York State is required by law to complete and submit an Annual Report to the New York State Education Department's Charter School Office (NYSED CSO) and to the school's charter entity. Each charter school is required to make the Annual Report publicly available by August 1 and post on the charter school's website. Each school should post an updated and complete version to include accountability data and financial statements that are not or may not be available until after the August 1 deadline. The 2018-19 Annual Report Guidelines include general instructions for submission, report content requirements, and key inquiries that highlight academic, organizational, and fiscal performance, as well as the extent to which a school is meeting the requirements of its charter. These Guidelines are intended to walk schools through and supplement the prompts in the online Annual Report Portal. A charter school's Annual Report provides information about its performance over the prior academic year, as well as a report on progress toward performance goals agreed upon in the charter contract.
