Common use of Financial Performance Framework Clause in Contracts

Financial Performance Framework. The Financial Performance Framework (“Framework”) serves as a tool for the Commission to assess the financial health and viability of charter schools in its portfolio. The framework intends to provide a financial frame of reference based on current and past financial performance of charter schools. The indicators used in the framework are based on industry standard financial measures (e.g. ratios, variances) designed to be viewed in the aggregate with other complementary and supplementary information (e.g. timely and accurate financial and reporting practices, management practices). No single indicator or point in time data point gives a full picture of the financial situation of a school. Taken together, however, the indicators provide a qualitative assessment of the school’s near-term financial health, mid-term capacity, and long-term financial sustainability.
