In 2008 the Charter Board decided to create a Performance Management Framework (PMF)—a common yardstick for all charter schools — so it could compare them and ensure that schools are held accountable for performance. The first version of the PMF would have created serious, illegal intrusions into charter school autonomy. FOCUS's efforts to stop the initial implementation led to the PCSB working with charter school leaders over several years to create a more acceptable version that was finally implemented.

Today the DC Public Charter Schoool Board’s Performance Management Framework (PMF) is used to produce the annual detailed School Quality Reports for each public charter school over which it provides oversight. DC PCSB uses the tool to review each school’s academic performance annually. Families can use these reports to find out how a public charter school is performing and as a guide to help them select a new school.
