Cooperation seems to be this week’s theme in the charter sector, with two major deadlines! First, the Department of Education’s Collaboration Awards competition (CFDA 84.282P) is coming to an end this week. The purpose of this competition is to encourage high quality public charter schools to partner with non-chartered public schools and non-chartered LEAs to share and transfer best educational and operation practices, and to disseminate information about such practices. The deadline for applications is August 29th, so you should be making sure your grants.gov account is up and running TODAY! Have any last minute questions?Ask me!
Are you curious about how you can effectively partner with the traditional public schools in your community, and can’t wait for the best practices dissemination phase of the Collaboration Awards? Check out the National Best Cooperative Practices between Charter and Traditional Public Schools Conference (NBCP). The early-bird registration ends August 31st. And be sure to check out the directory of participants and practices too!
