State Partnerships
The US Department of Education awarded a National Dissemination grant through the Charter School Program (CSP) to the National Network for District Authorizing (NN4DA). CACSA is a founding member of the NN4DA and is a partner in the CSP grant.
The new CSP grant is a three-year project that will provide substantial support to CACSA for our work to help more Colorado authorizers implement best practices and to promote cross-agency collaborations that improve access, services, and outcomes for special populations in charter schools.
The NN4DA project will leverage CACSA’s current partnership with California and Florida, and add additional state partners, including Georgia, Idaho, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
The Goals of the National Dissemination Grant:
Goal 1
Create, evolve, and disseminate best practices for district-led charter school authorizing to address emerging issues nationally and in each participating state.
Goal 2
Catalyze and support cross-agency collaboration to serve underserved students.
Goal 3
Expand NN4DA's impact nationwide by incubating new statewide authorizer support initiatives through an Incubating State Partner (ISP) model, thereby helping more district authorizers in all participating states (including PSP's) to implement updated best practices in charter school authorizing.
