compare the performance of charter school pupils with the performance of
ethnically and economically comparable groups of pupils in other public schools

(ii) shall review information regarding the regulations and policies from
which
charter schools were released to determine if the exemptions assisted or
impeded
the charter schools in meeting their stated goals and objectives, and (iii)
shall
include suggested changes in State law necessary to strengthen charter schools.
In addition, the State Board shall undertake and report on periodic
evaluations of charter schools that include evaluations of student academic
achievement, the extent to which charter schools are accomplishing their
missions
and goals, the sufficiency of funding for charter schools, and the need for
changes in the approval process for charter schools.
Based on the information that the State Board receives from authorizers and the State Board's ongoing monitoring of both charter schools and authorizers, the State Board has the power to remove the power to authorize from any authorizer in this State if the authorizer does not demonstrate a commitment to high-quality authorization practices and, if necessary, revoke the chronically low-performing charters authorized by the authorizer at the time of the removal. The State Board shall adopt rules as needed to carry out this power, including provisions to determine the status of schools authorized by an authorizer whose authorizing power is revoked.
