ANNUAL REPORT 2016 5 ANNU
On behalf of all of us at the Ferris State University Charter Schools Offi ce (CSO), it is our pleasure to present the 2015-2016 Annual Report. In the report you will fi nd an overview of our 21 public school academies which includes basic demographic, fi nancial, and student achievement information.
Serving over 9,000 students each day, the public school academies authorized by Ferris State University meet the challenge of providing programs addressing the educational and social needs of students from all parts of our State. It was not practical nor our intent to include comprehensive data for each academy. Readers who wish to gather more information about a particular academy are directed to the CSO website: www.ferris.edu/charterschools. It is here that one can fi nd more comprehensive data about each academy through the Contract Performance Report, along with a wealth of other data.
The Annual Report is a collaborative effort of the CSO Executive Leadership Team. It is my pleasure to introduce the members of this team who have helped produce the Annual Report:

Making an
since 1997
Ferris Charter Schools Offi ceWhen Ferris State University authorizes a public school academy, it is an endeavor to positively transform the life trajectory of the students who attend that academy. We believe that all students must be able to apply knowledge to new situations, and to seek out new information though research skills and technological competence. To accomplish this, each academy must provide an environment to achieve academic excellence by delivering quality programming and instruction for the children it serves. The virtues of character that include the values of freedom, honesty, integrity, and civility, in addition to rigorous accountability to all stakeholders, are a part of our vision for each public school academy.
ANNUAL REPORT 20162016 7

The CSO mission states, “The Ferris State University Charter Schools Offi ce (CSO) focuses on student success and continuous improvement through quality oversight, professional learning opportunities, and relevant resources for its authorized public school academies.” Consistent with that focus on improvement, the CSO underwent a comprehensive review in fall 2015 in preparation for AdvancED authorizer accreditation. Dr. Darlene Chambers, President of the Ohio Alliance for Charter Schools, reviewed all aspects of the CSO’s operations and processes. Dr. Chambers was very helpful in calling attention to not only processes that the CSO does well, but offered a number of suggestions for strengthening our organization’s oversight. The CSO has been actively implementing many of those suggestions in preparation for the AdvancED accreditation visitation.

through Outreachand Innovation
The CSO staff developed a comprehensive three-year Strategic Plan consistent with its vision to: “. . . authorize public school academies that promise to transform the lives of students by demonstrating high-quality performance.” The Strategic Plan calls for aggressive improvement in the authorization and oversight process as well as the launch of several new initiatives aimed at improving the performance of the FSU public school academy portfolio.

ANNUAL REPORT 20162016 11
The CSO Scholarship Fund was created in 2006 to assist graduates from FSU authorized public school academies who choose to attend Ferris State University. Over the past ten years, the fund has helped over 100 students by supplementing their fi nancial aid package and offering the opportunity to attend the University. The CSO scholarship is available to any student who graduates from an FSU authorized academy and is renewable for up to four years. Students applying to the University are automatically considered for the scholarship.
A new unit, Budget and Finance, in the online Board Development Series was launched during 2015-2016, consisting of four lessons, bringing the total number of units to fi ve. Over a third of our Board members have viewed at least one lesson. After viewing the required Orientation unit, many new Board members go on to view all the lessons.
As part of the continuous improvement process, and in preparation for AdvancED authorizer accreditation, the CSO team has identifi ed almost 70 processes to review and map out. Individual team members have mapped out their own processes and the team met regularly to review. To date, 25% of the identifi ed processes have been completed and accurately mapped.
