I. Site Sponsors
While the initial development of the US Charter Schools Web site involved input from numerous individuals in the charter school movement from across the country and the generous support of the US Department of Education, this site is currently supported by a consortium of organizations interested in providing accurate information and promising practices about and for charter schools.
II. History
This Web site was established in 1997 and operated until September 18th, 2004 with support from the U.S. Department of Education. Currently the site is neither supported nor endorsed by the U.S. Department of Education.
The US Charter Schools Web site is a place where charter school developers, authorizers, and operators can meet, exchange ideas, and access a valuable resource library. The Web site provides a wide range of information and links to resources to guide charter schools in every phase of their development — from start-up, to expansion, to renewal.
USCharterSchools.org is the most widely used and comprehensive online resource available to charter schools today. It receives an average of 4,000 visits (80,000 hits) per day and has over 10,000 subscribers to its online newsletters:
