of 5— Upload the authorizer framework and understand it

What you'll accomplish

Charter renewal documentation that normally takes weeks of writing can be compressed into days using Claude to draft narrative responses to your authorizer's performance framework. This guide gives you a repeatable workflow for turning your school's data and story into compelling renewal documentation, domain by domain.

What you'll need

  • Claude Pro subscription (for file uploads and longer outputs)
    • Cost: {{tool:Claude.price}}/month
    • Sign up at {{tool:Claude.url}}
  • Your authorizer's performance framework document (PDF)
  • 2-3 years of academic data summaries (state test results, MAP, graduation rates)
  • Financial audit summaries for the charter term
  • Board meeting minutes and governance documentation
  • Your school fact sheet (from the Grant Writing guide, or build a similar one)
  • Time needed: 1 to 2 hours per framework domain, spread over 1 to 2 weeks

How-To Guide: Prepare Authorizer Renewal Documentation

Step 1: Upload the authorizer framework and understand it

Copy and paste this
I'm a charter school administrator preparing for charter renewal. This is my authorizer's performance framework. Please:
1. List all domains/sections and their evaluation criteria
2. Identify which criteria have specific quantitative thresholds I must meet
3. Flag any "automatic non-renewal" criteria I should be aware of
4. Summarize what narrative evidence the authorizer typically expects for each domain
5. Note any areas where the framework is ambiguous and I should contact my authorizer for clarification

What you should see: A structured breakdown of the renewal framework that tells you what evidence to gather and where your school stands strongest/weakest.
