We actively stay on top of legislative and local policy changes that affect new charters and renewals and are “the” go-to for many charter leaders up and down the state.

We offer comprehensive support throughout the development and renewal process, including charter formulation, in-depth review, evaluation of relevant authorizer board policies, attendance at authorizer public hearings and decision meetings, and, if necessary, charter appeals. Our attorneys have handled nearly every charter appeal to the State Board of Education for the past decade.
