Does the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools (Charter Board) have the ability to authorize the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) to update a charter school's student-level data after the charter school closes? 2. Does ADE have the independent authority to update a charter school's student- level data when necessary after the charter school closes? Summary Answers 1. Yes. If necessary, the entity that sponsors and supervises a charter school can authorize ADE, through the Superintendent of Public Instruction (the Superintendent), to update student-level data of a charter school it sponsors that abruptly closed and cannot appropriately manage its student-level data. This authority would extend to the Charter Board if it is the supervising entity of the charter school that abruptly closed.
