Dear Friends,

The Governor John Engler Center for Charter Schools has a strong tradition of providing
educational choices to Michigan families. With the belief that every child should have access
to a quality education that best serves their needs, Central Michigan University authorizes 62
charter public schools throughout the state. These schools are ensuring students have doors
opened to them with new possibilities of what an education can mean to their future.

The Center takes pride in playing an essential role in providing these diverse education
options to more than 30,000 students in Michigan. We continue to have an innovative outlook
on developing concepts, systems and tools to keep schools on the pathway to delivering
superior educational programs. In our mission to transform public education, the Center is
continuously looking at new ways to improve. This served as our motivation to go through
the accreditation process with AdvancED in 2016. We were honored to receive accreditation
from this prestigious organization and know that what we learned about ourselves as an
authorizer will allow us to keep working toward our mission.

The impact the Center and CMU-authorized charter public schools are having on education is
truly the result of our dedicated staff, board members and the numerous individuals serving
our schools. It is their commitment to quality educational choices that positions each student
for success in college, work and life.
The Center is proud to be setting the standard in supporting choice, demonstrating excellence
and driving innovation. As we reflect on the past year’s accomplishments, we move forward
with a continued commitment to transform public education.

Sincerely,




Cindy Schumacher
Executive Director, The Governor John Engler Center for Charter Schools

CENTRAL MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY







Working together to set the standard and provide access to quality education.






When the Michigan Legislature responded to Governor John Engler’s call for
the establishment of charter schools in Michigan in 1994, CMU was prepared
to lead. Believing charter schools could serve as a catalyst for educational
improvements benefiting all Michigan children, CMU became the first university
in the nation to authorize a charter school.

ACCOUNTABILITY






To uphold the integrity of the chartering process, the Center holds its schools accountable
to the highest standards.




ENSURING QUALITY EDUCATIONAL OPTIONS FOR STUDENTS

CMU issues charter contracts on a competitive basis, taking into consideration the student population served and the educational
goals to be achieved. Successful applicants have a promising vision, sound business plan, quality educational program and the
ability to implement.

Upon approval by the CMU Board of Trustees, the Center works with the school’s board members and project team to develop
a charter contract. This is a performance contract that includes the school’s educational goal. The charter contract is a living
document that drives the performance of the school laying out roles, responsibilities and expectations.

Performance reviews are conducted throughout the term of the charter contract to evaluate the school’s academic, fiscal
and operational results. The Center’s oversight systems are designed to directly correlate to the University Board’s chartering
policies of ensuring academic success, fiscal viability and good faith in following the terms of its charter contract and applicable
law. A school’s performance determines whether it is reauthorized or closed. If needed, the Center also has an option to
reconstitute a school. Reconstitution allows an authorizer to make the necessary changes to provide quality options for families
in a continuous educational setting.
