The74 Op-ed
Top district leaders in authorizing “do not consider themselves pro- or anti-charter; they simply want to perform their jobs as authorizers well, and they consider charter school students their district’s kids,” write Alex Medler, Melissa Brady and Tom Hutton, executive directors respectively, of the Colorado Association of Charter School Authorizers, the Florida Association of Charter School Authorizers, and California Charter Authorizing Professionals, for an Op-Ed in The74. They discuss co-founding of the Nation Network for District Authorizing (NN4DA) to provide information and tools to strengthen authorizers across the country, especially those in small and rural districts.
