Funding Opportunities for Charter Schools

The ¿ìè³É°æÊÓƵ was awarded a FY2018 Expanding Opportunity Through Quality Charter Schools Program (CSP) Grant by the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE).Ìý Authorized by Title IV, Part C of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act, CSP provides funding for the purpose of increasing national understanding of the charter school model and to expand the number of high-quality charter schools available to students across the nation.

The purpose of New York’s CSP grant is to increase the number of high-quality charter school seats in the State, especially in charter schools serving students who are at greatest risk of not meeting State academic standards, and to improve student achievement outcomes in the State’s charter schools, particularly for students who are at greatest risk of not meeting State academic standards, through high quality charter authorizing and technical assistance.

CSP provides funds for planning and implementation grants to newly-authorized charter schools and expansion grants to the highest-performing charter schools that seek to add grades and/or enrollment.
