The Accelerating Charter Schools Act is here!
/We have an important legislative update for you. The Accelerating Public Charter Schools Act, a crucial bill that was developed in collaboration with key stakeholders, is now in the legislative process.
Our collaboration with the Charter School Commission, BLUUM, Stride/K12, the Charter School Network and the Association of Charter School Leaders, has been instrumental in shaping a bill that truly represents the needs and aspirations of our charter school community.
Key highlights of the bill include:
Introduction of new legislative intent language to support charter school development.
Streamlining the authorization and reauthorization processes for charter schools.
Establishing pilot charters for innovative models.
Facilitating the replication of successful charter schools.
Providing a 12-year renewal term for high-performing charter schools.

The Coalition of Idaho Charter School Families, a grassroots group advocating for school choice, equal funding, and policies that allow funding to follow the student, is deeply invested in this legislation. We focus on enhancing choices within both "brick and mortar" and virtual charter schools.
We will keep you informed on the progress of the bill and may reach out for additional support. Thank you for standing with us in this critical moment for our charter schools.
