Reports and Timelines PCSC portfolio schools submit three reports directly to the authorizer and pay an authorizer fee annually. All public schools, including public charter schools, submit additional reports to the SDE and the SBE. Renewal Process Idaho statute requires that all public charter schools in the state be periodically reviewed by their authorizer for the purpose of determining whether or not the charter school should continue operations. Public charter schools are considered for renewal every five years. Amendments As a public charter school gains experience and develops its student body over time, its board may choose to apply to the authorizer for an expansion or other changes to the school model.
