For School Leadership

NCOCS Guidance for Charter School Boards

Office of Charter Schools Recommended Accountability and Compliance Timelines

Please Note- OCS has compiled suggested times throughout the year to provide charter schools with an overview of monthly submission deadlines and compliance requirements. This is not an exhaustive list, and some departments have detailed requirements not listed here, but an overall general calendar of expected accountability events throughout the school year. It is the responsibility of each individual school to ensure all compliance requirements are being upheld even if they are not listed in this general overview. Please reach out to each separate NCDPI entity for further information and other training(s) that are scheduled on their calendars, as well as add your school leader contacts to EDDIE upon changes being made at your school leadership level during hiring to receive weekly updates.
