Board Governance
Effective governance is one of the great challenges of any organization, whether it is a nonprofit, a private enterprise, or a public institution. It is an especially challenging task for charter schools because of their unique organizational structure.
Successful charter school governance is hard work that requires a board to function at a high level of effectiveness.
The Association is committed to assisting member schools in addressing the challenges of governance. Our goal is to enhance the capacity of charter school boards to function at the high level of effectiveness that the governance model in our charter school law presumes and to which our students, parents and staff are entitled.
As an Association, we seek to fulfill our goal to enhance board capacity by providing a variety of technical assistance resources, training opportunities and publications for member charter school boards.
