From April 30 - May 4, charter advocates, parents, teachers and students from across the country will celebrate the role high-performing charter schools play in opening doors to hope and opportunity for families. With the theme of "Closing the Gap," the 8th annual National Charter Schools Week will highlight how charter schools are making meaningful gains for disadvantaged children. To assist the charter school community in planning, the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools has developed a toolkit. The toolkit offers a wealth of resources for helping make the week a success, including suggested engagement activities and talking points for speaking with a variety of audiences. It also provides several templates, including a sample press release, a sample school fact sheet, and a sample legislative letter.
