1. The State Public Charter School Authority shall establish a plan to manage the

growth of charter schools in this State. The plan must set forth the status of existing charter schools and a 5-year projection

of anticipated growth in the number of charter schools. 2. To develop the plan pursuant to subsection 1, the Authority shall determine the

projected number of: (a) New charter schools that the Authority will approve; (b) Additional campuses of charter schools that the Authority will approve; (c) Charter schools that will expand the grade levels offered at the charter schools

or will otherwise increase enrollment of pupils at the charter schools; and (d) Charter schools whose charter contracts will expire and the likelihood that the

charter contracts will be renewed. 3. In addition to the information described in subsection 2, to develop the plan pursuant

to subsection 1, the Authority shall consider: (a) Information relating to pupils included in the statewide system of accountability

for public schools, including, without limitation, information relating to specific

groups and subgroups of pupils; (b) Information relating to the academic needs of pupils in the various geographic

areas of the State; and (c) Any other information the Authority deems necessary to determine whether increasing

the number of charter schools or expanding the campuses of existing charter schools

will best serve the pupils of this State. 4. The Authority, the Department and each board of trustees of a school district in

this State shall collaborate in developing the plan pursuant to subsection 1. 5. The Authority shall review the plan at least biennially and revise the plan as

necessary.
