As part of this review, the dcpcsb is required to determine whether: (1) the school committed a material violation of applicable laws or a material violation of the conditions, terms, standards, or procedures set forth in its charter and/or(2) the school failed to meet the goals and student academic achievement expectations set forth in its charter. If the dcpcsb determines that a school has committed a material violation of applicable law, or has not met its goals and expectations as described above, it may, at its discretion, grant the school a conditional continuance, or revoke the school's charter. Per its charter and charter agreement, the excel academy public charter school committed to achieving an average performance management framework (pmf) score of 45% taking into account attendance, test scores and re- enrollment rates.
