State Accountability Monitoring
Don't wait for the state to tell you you're at risk. AcumenEd continuously monitors your performance against Michigan's CSI and TSI indicators, giving you time to course-correct.
Understanding Michigan's Accountability System
CSI: Comprehensive Support and Improvement
Schools are identified for CSI if they are in the lowest performing 5% of Title I schools or have graduation rates below 67%.
TSI: Targeted Support and Improvement
Schools are identified for TSI when specific student subgroups consistently underperform compared to state averages.
Six Months of Early Warning
The state makes accountability determinations once per year. AcumenEd monitors your indicators continuously.
Real-Time Performance Tracking
As assessments are completed and grades are finalized, AcumenEd updates your projected accountability status.
Subgroup Deep Dives
See performance by subgroup before the state does. Identify which groups are trending toward TSI identification.
Proactive Alerts
Receive notifications when indicators approach thresholds, giving you time to implement targeted interventions.
Course Correction
Use early warning to adjust instruction, add supports, or reallocate resources before accountability determinations are finalized.

Continuous Improvement Systems: Building a Culture of Getting Better
Charter accountability isn't just about meeting minimum standards—it's about constantly improving. Schools that build continuous improvement systems don't just survive accountability; they thrive through it.
Enrollment and Equity Accountability: Serving All Students Fairly
Charter schools must serve all students—not just those easiest to educate. Accountability for enrollment equity ensures charters fulfill their public mission of providing quality education to diverse populations.
Building Strong Authorizer Relations: Partnership for Accountability
The authorizer relationship shapes charter school experience. Schools that build productive partnerships with their authorizers navigate accountability successfully while maintaining focus on mission.
Financial Sustainability for Charter Schools: Building Long-Term Viability
Academic excellence means nothing if the school can't keep its doors open. Financial sustainability requires disciplined budgeting, diversified revenue, and strategic planning for long-term viability.
