This organization, supported by charter school groups, seeks to unite the parent populations in Southeastern states by providing information and training about their rights in public schools. The goals of this project are to provide parents with the tools they need to understand their state's accountability, their opportunities for charter schools and other public school choice options, services under the No Child Left Behind act, and to generate more choices in school districts and states. The project will be managed by the Center for Education Reform, in partnership with four major statewide groups that focus on parents and public school choices: the South Carolina Association of Public Charter Schools, the Florida Consortium of Charter Schools, Georgia Charter Schools Association, Inc., and North Carolina School Choice, Inc.
