CCAP is helping to establish a system of supports, networking, and learning opportunities to promote high quality charter school authorizing among school districts and county offices of education throughout California. The conference is the key state convening in the authorizing field, drawing 120-150 district and county staff and board members, attorneys, charter school leaders, consultants, and other officials. The event includes plenary sessions, concurrent presentations, role-alike meetings, receptions, and a special preconference on “Charter Authorizing & Oversight 101.”
