Education Dive | March 26, 2018
In North Carolina, 103 low-performing schools have been approved for the state’s new “restart” model that allows “charter school flexibility” with regard to issues such as school calendar, length of school days, teacher licensure and use of school funds, EdNC reports in an article reprinted by the Hechinger Report.The Restart program is based on the premise that schools know the needs of their own students best and that increased autonomy to pursue innovative ideas to address these needs will improve student performance.
