In September and October 2005, the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools hosted regional policy meetings so charter stakeholders from around the nation could discuss national policy priorities. Representatives from state associations, resource centers, charter schools, state legislatures, state departments of education, community-based organizations, and foundations from 22 states met to discuss facility challenges, funding gaps, the federal Charter School Program, implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and the reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Act. Debriefing memos from meetings held in Albuquerque, Atlanta, Chicago, and Providence detail the discussions and resulting recommendations and are now available on the Alliance’s homepage.
