Issues & Research

  • Public charter schools are judged by their results: whether or not students are achieving academically and being well prepared for success in college and beyond. Charter schools align to the same New York state standards, and take the same state exams, as other public schools. If a charter school isn’t helping students achieve, it can be closed.

Programs & Services

The Special Education Collaborative provides schools with the community, resources, and expert guidance needed to create a successful program and ensure regulatory compliance.

Led by Caryl Cohen, the Charter Center’s Certification Unit provides in-depth technical assistance to ensure that your school complies with all New York State and Federal teacher certification regulations.
