Planning Year Sessions

Congratulations on receiving approval to open a new charter school!

Board members from charter schools that are opening in 2022, as well as acceleration applicants,  are required to attend 5 virtual Planning Year Sessions from September to January; three will be in person and two will be virtual.  Schools in a delay year whose board members have attended all Planning Year sessions in a prior year (the majority of the BOD) are not required to attend this year, but are welcome to. If you are unsure of your BOD's attendance, please confirm with Claire Porter as to whether they must attend. New BOD members must attend. The school leader and some of the board members are also required to attend the New Charter School Leaders Institute in June 2022.  If you have a new school leader and/or a new board member interested in attending any of the sessions, he or she must register to attend.
