The National Alliance for Public Charter Schools is excited to have over 2,500 attendees at the 7th Annual National Charter Schools Conference next week in Albuquerque! The conference will offer sessions presented by leaders of the national charter school movement and present numerous special events for networking and fun. Registrants should sign up for networking breakfast sessions Friday morning where groups will meet by profession or interest and ask their peers for solutions to their most pressing questions. The 15th anniversary of the first public charter school will be celebrated with an anniversary dessert reception followed by a dance and party with Alliance Board Member and disc jockey Howard Fuller. The unique exhibits include a "green" model school building on the exhibit floor and a timeline highlighting most states' charter school history on display in the conference hall. Online registration has closed but registration can be completed each day at the conference at the Albuquerque Convention Center beginning Tuesday, April 24th through Friday, April 27th.
