This page brings together stories, tools, and resources designed for educators, policymakers, and community leaders looking to learn from—and build on—what’s already working.

This resource includes best practices, case studies, and actionable practices from longstanding, successful charter public community schools across California and how their data stories support their charter renewals.

CCSA launches a statewide initiative highlighting how charter public schools are leading the way in community school models—just as California considers major expansion of funding and access.
