Following several years without an active state public charter school association, North Carolina now has a new organization in place that seeks to support high quality public charter schools and expand the public charter school movement throughout the state. The organization will host a state public charter school conference and plans to offer advocacy and technical assistance to member schools and the larger public charter school community. North Carolina has a legislated cap of just 100 schools which it has already reached. With increasing demand from families seeking other public education options, one of the first goals of the organization is to push the legislature to lift the cap. The organization has an online presence as well as a Facebook page.
