Can a charter be revoked before its term expires?
Yes. The Commissioner of Education may revoke the charter of an open enrollment charter school if s/he determines that the charter holder: (1) committed a material violation of the charter, including failure to satisfy accountability provisions prescribed by the charter; (2) failed to satisfy generally accepted accounting standards of fiscal management; (3) failed to protect the health, safety, or welfare of the students enrolled at the school; or (4) failed to comply with TEC Chapter 12, Subchapter D or another applicable law or rule. The Commissioner may also modify, place on probation, or deny renewal of a charter based on these same four reasons.
