Charter office to rewrite new‑school application, invites board to NACSA conference
Summary
Leroy Traver, director of the Charter School Office, told the State Board the office will do a six‑month rewrite of the state's new‑charter application to align with NACSA's 2025 guidance and invited board members and Charter School Accountability Committee members to the National Association of Charter School Authorizers conference in Houston (Oct. 20–23).
Leroy Traver, director of the Charter School Office, told the State Board that his office will lead a multi‑stakeholder, roughly six‑month review and rewrite of the state's new‑charter application to align it with new 2025 guidance from the National Association of Charter School Authorizers (NACSA).
Traver said the department and the Charter School Office will work closely with internal colleagues, the Delaware Charter School Network and the State Board to “do a deep dive into our new charter school application to ensure that the application is meeting the needs and vision of our state, our governor, and our secretary.” He said the rewrite will include feedback from selected board members and the Charter School Accountability Committee.
As part of that work, Traver offered the board subsidized registrations to NACSA’s national conference in Houston Oct. 20–23 so board members and accountability‑committee members could attend sessions on the association’s new authorizing guidance. “We would welcome that,” he said, urging any interested members to coordinate with Miss Smith on logistics.
The board asked a few clarifying questions and thanked Traver for the briefing. The office will return with a timeline and names of board members who will participate in the revision process; Traver estimated the work would take about six months.
