LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
The 2016-17 school year was one that saw the Detroit Public Schools Community District Office of Charter Schools offering more opportunities for professional development, oversight and support to board members and school personnel than ever before. The office focused on its mission to support, develop, and hold charter schools accountable, so that they can
prepare Detroit children for future opportunities. The information contained in this annual report represents data from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. It offers a snapshot of the students served, as well as how the school performed on a variety of important measures.
During the 2016-17 year, DPSCD welcomed a new Board of Education. The seven-member board reauthorized three of our charter schools, Capstone Academy, MacDowell Preparatory Academy, and Rutherford-Winans Academy. We also added
to our portfolio the Michigan Educational Choice Center (MECC) charter schools, Murphy Academy, Stewart Academy, and Trix Academy, formerly authorized by the Educational Achievement Authority (EAA).
In addition to increasing our portfolio, our office experienced a reorganization that reflects the direction of the new Superintendent, Dr. Nikolai Vitti. The previous Director, Kisha Verdusco transitioned to a new role in the district. The office is now composed of me as the new Senior Deputy Executive Director, Anna Nowinski is the Operations Manager and Jacqueline Sims serves as the Compliance Specialist. On the governance side, we welcomed new board liaisons Ellyse Campbell and Troia Gulley, who are our representatives at
charter school board meetings. Our team continues to assess our charter schools by using multiple sources of data and identifying deficiencies that need to be improved. In addition, we will continue to build capacity in all DPSCD charter schools by providing professional development and rigorous classroom observations to improve student achievement.
In order to map our path to success, we must collectively take stock of where we are and how far we have to go. We hope this report will assist in that effort.
We are honored to work with dedicated school board members, principals, teachers and a host of other personnel who impact children daily.
Thank you for partnering with our team as we strive to be a High Quality Authorizer!

COLLEGE READINESS ANALYSIS | SPRING 2017
The Detroit Public Schools Community District Office of Charter Schools mission is to support, develop and hold accountable high-performing charter schools that prepare Detroit children for college and careers. In accordance with this mission, the Office of Charter Schools has established academic targets that require each general-admission academy to close the college readiness gap by 70 percent at each grade level, as measured by the NWEA Measures of Academic Progress assessment each year. The goal is for each academy to demonstrate that it is preparing students for college. Students are considered college ready when they can earn a composite score of 21 on the ACT by the 11th grade. The NWEA MAP is a computer-adaptive test that allow us to measure student progress toward a score of 21 on the ACT beginning as early as the second grade. Each year, DPSCD provides its authorized academies with grade-level goals based on student performance on the fall assessment. The enclosed report shows how your academy performed relative to its spring 2017 goal, which requires closing the gap between actual fall performance and the national college readiness standard by 70 percent.* The enclosed results are based on results of the assessments that were administered between April 24 and June 9, 2017. Since 2012, each DPSCD-authorized academy has been required to test all children in grades 2-8 in the fall and spring, with an optional winter testing window. DPSCD covers the cost of NWEA testing. If you have questions about this report, you may contact us at: (313) 873-7927.*Formula for calculating 70% target: (College Readiness Target - Fall Actual Score x .70 + Fall Actual
Score)

The DPSCD Office of Charter Schools, through Quality Performance Resource Group, reviews charter school personnel documents in the fall winter and spring. The documents reviewed for all applicable staff are: Teaching Certificates, Criminal Background Checks, Unprofessional Conduct Checks and Highly Qualified credentials.
This report documents the cumulative results from the 2016-17 school year.
The following feedback report is intended to be used to identify opportunities to improve the documentation required for school employees. Every effort has been made to maintain consistency with federal, State of Michigan and Michigan Department of Education rules, statutes, regulations and guidelines.
ACADEMY STATUSThe Academy Status matrix below gives an overall picture of the status of all academies. The explanations of the Academy Status levels are meant as general guidelines and the classification of a particular academy is somewhat subjective. Typically at the fall audit, academies should be in Level 1 and 2 and only have pending documents not on file. Academies in Level 3 have some significant follow up to be conducted for the winter audit. Academies in Level 4 have unacceptable deficiencies.
Level 1 – All required documentation for all staff current and on file or in timely process.
Level 2 - All certificates/permits for teaching staff current and on file or in timely process. Criminal Background Checks for all staff are on file. Some Unprofessional Conduct Checks for all staff may be incomplete. Some instructional paraprofessionals may not have Highly Qualified credentials on file.
Level 3 – Some certificates/permits for teaching staff incomplete (1-2); some non-compliance. Some Criminal Background Checks and Unprofessional Conduct Checks are missing. Some instructional paraprofessionals may not have Highly Qualified credentials on file.
Level 4 – Large numbers of certificates/permits for teaching staff. Incomplete (3 or more); significant non-compliance. Significant numbers of Criminal Background Checks and Unprofessional Conduct Checks for all staff. Many instructional paraprofessionals may not Highly Qualified credentials on file.

FINANCIAL REPORT
The mission of the Detroit Public Schools Community District Office of Charter Schools is to support, develop and hold accountable high-performing charter schools that prepare Detroit children for college and careers.
Fiscal soundness is not only an integral part of providing a strong academic program, it is required by law. In order to monitor school financial health, Detroit Public Schools Community District reviews each academy's quarterly financial statements, which are uploaded to the Epicenter compliance system.
This report covers the fourth quarter ended and year-to-date fiscal year 2016-17. The fourth quarter was April 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017. While the review was based upon unaudited financial information, it contains important information that should guide board decision-making and strategic planning.
THIS REPORT FOCUSES ON THREE KEY INDICATORS:
Please contact the Office of Charter Schools at (313) 873-7927 with questions or concerns.
LIQUIDITY POSITION Can the school meet its short-term obligations as they become due?
OPERATIONS
Are expenditures in line with revenues?
FUND BALANCE Is the school in a surplus or deficit position? Is the school in line with State requirements?
SUMMARY
GEE White Academy’s unaudited near-term financial health remained stable. The liquidity measures are fair to good, with a current ratio of 1.73 and debt-to-asset ratio of 0.58. Working capital of $814,915 covers approximately 70 days of anticipated cash disbursements. Days cash on hands is 59 days.
The year-to-date net income of $158,769 had a positive impact on the fund balance. The fund balance of $816,915 is 20% of total operating expenses, which is above industry standard. However, the operating cash flow ratio is less than 1, which is an indication that more cash needs to be generated from operations to pay short-term obligations
The academy needs to closely monitor revenues and expenditures to ensure future financial stability.
DPSCD OFFICE OF CHARTER SCHOOLS | ANNUAL REPORT | 17
FINANCIAL REPORT
KEY GOOD N/AFAIR POOR
1. Current Ratio: The current ratio is a financial ratio that measures whether or not the academy has enough resources to pay its immediate debts. This ratio indicates the percentage of current assets to current liabilities. Acceptable current ratios vary and are generally between 1.5 and 3.
2. Working Capital: Working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities, and represents an absolute dollar amount. Working capital is a measure of an academy’s ability to satisfy current financial obligations as they become due. An acceptable amount depends on the academy’s monthly cash disbursement stream, but generally, a healthy organization has a working capital amount of at least 3-6 months of anticipated cash disbursements, e.g. payroll, supplies and lease.
3. Debt to Asset Ratio: The debt to asset ratio shows the proportion of the academy’s assets that are financed through debt. If the ratio is less than 1, most of the company's assets are financed through equity. If the ratio is greater than 1, most of the school’s assets are financed through debt.
4. Cash on Hand: The days cash on hand represents the number of days of operating expenses the academy could pay with its current available cash. Knowing the number of days’ cash on hand allows you to adjust your expenditures. Cash on hand is computed by 1) determining the sum of cash in bank, petty, and marketable securities; 2) divide operating expenses by the number of days it represents (i.e., this is generally, 90 for a quarter, 180 for 6 months, or 360 for a year) to compute daily operating expenses or disbursements, and 3) divide sum of cash, item 1; by amount computed in item 2).

DPSCD OFFICE OF CHARTER SCHOOLS | ANNUAL REPORT | 18
FINANCIAL REPORT
5. Operating Cash Flow Ratio: This ratio indicates the ability of the academy to pay off its short-term liabilities using its state aid, grant funds and other receipts. If the operating cash flow is less than 1, the academy has generated less cash in the period than it needs to pay its bills.
6. Operating Cash Flow: Operating cash flow is a solid measure of the academy’s operating results because it refers to actual cash from school-related activity, eg. state aid, grant funds, etc.) It represents earnings from operations before interest and taxes, plus depreciation.
7. Total Margin: The total margin formula looks at how much of a company’s revenues are kept as net income. The total margin is generally expressed as a percentage. Total margin is the number of dollars of income a school generates per dollar of revenue. This ratio shows the return on revenue.
8. Fund Balance: Accumulation of revenues minus expenditures. Any surplus revenues in excess of expenditures at the end of a fiscal year fall to a fund balance.
10. Fund Balance as a Percent of Revenues: Fund balance divided by revenue. The State requires schools to have a general fund balance above or equal to 5% of revenue. Schools who do not meet that requirement in one or both of the previous two fiscal years are required to submit budgetary assumptions to CEPI. 11. Fund Balance as a Percent of Expenses: Fund balance divided by expenditures. Michigan School Business Officials recommends that districts have a fund balance of 15-20% of budgeted expenditures to avoid the need to borrow during the two month period between the August and October State Aid payments..
