Thanks to everyone who attended Listening Session #1. Your input is greatly appreciated and will form the basis of the 2022 91吃瓜 policy agenda! We had robust attendance at our Friday, July 17, listening session; however, there were no registrants for the previously announced second session. As a result, and out of respect for busy back-to-school schedules, we canceled Listening Session #2 which was scheduled to take place on July 30.But never fear!聽 If anyone has more to share about聽policy challenges, authorizer issues and/or regulatory problems, please submit your feedback to Bonnie Holliday at聽bholliday@gacharters.org.听
Consider the聽following questions聽prior to submitting your feedback:
1.听What issues and challenges are charter schools currently facing?聽 (Think: autonomy, access, equity, and quality.)
2.听Is your authorizer responsive聽to your schools’ needs?聽 How could that dynamic be improved?
3.听What local/regional advocacy needs exist?
4.听What % of your school’s budget is dedicated to facility costs?
5.听Is your school being assessed for/paying property taxes?
