(a) An opportunity school shall remain under the supervision of the OSD for a minimum of five consecutive years or, for an OSD charter school, for the term of the initial charter for such school; provided, however, that if an opportunity school earns, for three consecutive years, a rating above an F pursuant to Code Section 20-14-104, it shall be removed from the OSD. If an opportunity school that becomes an OSD charter school that subsequently earns a rating above an F for three consecutive years, it shall no longer be subject to the oversight of the OSD but shall remain under the authority of the State Charter Schools Commission and shall operate according to the terms of its charter.
(b) An opportunity school shall remain under the supervision of the OSD for no more than ten years. Renewal of a charter for an opportunity school shall result in the exit of the school from the OSD. For other opportunity schools, the OSD Superintendent shall engage the school, the school community, and the school's local board of education in a negotiation to determine the best transition plan for the school to leave the supervision of the OSD.
(c) An opportunity school that becomes an OSD charter school shall work with the State Charter Schools Commission to renew and continue an effective charter or, if ineffective as a charter school, shall return to the governance of the OSD. If a successful OSD charter school does not wish to remain under the authorization of the State Charter Schools Commission for a subsequent charter term after demonstrating effective performance, the State Charter Schools Commission and the OSD shall coordinate the development of a transition plan back to the governance of the local board of education, which may include, but is not limited to, approval by the local board of education as a local charter school.
