Could Colorado's Building Excellent Schools Today (BEST) Grant Program help fund your school's next facilities project? Understanding eligibility, matching requirements, and funding priorities is essential before applying.
Brandon LaChance joined the Colorado Department of Education in early 2023 as the Regional Program Manager for the Capital Construction Division. In this role, he oversees the Charter School Capital Construction (CSCC) program, supporting more than 245 charter schools across Colorado. He also serves as the primary lead for charter schools applying for BEST grants and provides ongoing support for awarded projects.
With 20 years of experience in public education, Brandon previously served as the Executive Director of North Routt Community Charter School in Clark, Colorado, and began his career as a special education teacher in Ellicott, Colorado. A dedicated charter school advocate, he has contributed his expertise through appointed terms on the Colorado Rural Education Council and the Education Leadership Council.
Passionate about improving learning environments, Brandon enjoys working closely with Colorado charter schools to enhance their facilities. On weekends, you’ll often find him on his fishing boat, spending quality time with his twin daughters.
