Thank You: CSP Application Completed
On Tuesday, June 11, 2024, the League transmitted its application to the Federal Government for the “Federal Charter Schools State Entity Program in Colorado.” We collectively wanted to take this moment to thank you all for your support of our application and your input to our process.
As a Charter Support Organization serving 260 charter schools and 135,000 students, we recognize the importance of effective management and stewardship of federal grants. If selected, we will be responsible for serving the statewide community of charter schools with these funds through new schools, expansions, replications, trainings, convenings, and research, and we are excited about supporting all of our schools across the sector.
With all these possible projects in mind, we wanted to ensure you know that these fundamentals of our application are true today and will be true if we are selected:
- Transparency and Accountability: We will maintain open lines of communication with all stakeholders and ensure transparency in our decision-making processes.
- Collaboration and Partnership: We recognize that successful grant management requires collaboration and partnership with charter schools, educational stakeholders, and community organizations.
- Capacity Building and Support: We are committed to building charter schools' capacity to effectively utilize federal funds to improve student educational outcomes.
- Innovation and Impact: We will prioritize innovation and evidence-based practices to ensure that the grant funds are used in meaningful ways that impact student achievement and success.
This journey is only the beginning, and our proposal to run the “Great Schools Colorado” program (CSP) is the first step of many. CSP Awards to state entities will be announced in late September, and we will continue to share updates about our progress and plans as we learn more. Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership.
Sincerely,
The League Team
