Charter Authorizing 2.0 is CCAP’s bold statewide initiative to develop a new approach to charter school authorizing that furthers the goals of improving equity in and access to California’s more than 1,300 charter schools.
CA2.0 relies on core questions, measurable key performance indicators, and design principles to provide a framework for the state’s 337 charter authorizers to build efficient, transparent, and effective monitoring processes and tools for approval, oversight, and evaluation of charter schools. CA2.0 is funded by the Helen and Charles Schwab Foundation.
