Several charter school leaders have formed the Louisiana Charter School Alliance with the intention of improving school operations in areas such as legal services, financial reporting, teacher recruitment and group purchasing. "We expect savings from the cooperative to be redirected to the educational programs of our schools," said Kathy Riedlinger, alliance president. Under the management of the School Leadership Center of Greater New Orleans, the alliance plans to tap into the resources of the Center for Leadership Training and School Improvement Planning, said Rose Drill-Peterson, executive director of the alliance. "The major goal of the cooperative is to ensure the sustainability of the charter school movement by decreasing back office costs and providing a unified voice as we work with other local, state and national agencies," said Drill-Peterson, who will help connect members to available resources and guide their long-range planning.
