On May 1-2, the U.S. Department of Education is bringing together state and federal educational professionals to provide the opportunity for cross-state teams to work together in developing strategies to further increase and support the expansion of high quality public charter schools in their states. The purposes of the event are to expand the national dialogue about how states can use chartering as an intervention in low performing schools; to provide local and state leaders with current knowledge about successful charter school models and practices; and to share up-to-date information about partnerships, initiatives, and technical assistance available to states seeking to leverage their resources and expand the number of high quality charter schools. The showcase will be held at the Wardman Park Marriott Hotel in Washington, DC. Registration is available online .
