Join us for the South Dakota Education Equity Coalition's monthly call! We'll be joined by special guest Charlie Bufalino from the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools.

Session Overview

The National Alliance for Public Charter Schools has been conducting diligence and meeting with local partners and elected officials to explore the possibility of passing a public charter schools law in South Dakota. During this presentation, we will provide a brief overview of what public charter schools are and what results they have achieved across the country. In particular, we will share information about charter schools that have served students from tribal populations and produced strong results. We will share our current thinking on a policy framework for a South Dakota charter law, as well as the current state of our advocacy efforts. Finally, we will leave plenty of time for questions and are excited to discuss ways we can work together collaboratively to improve educational outcomes for all South Dakota students.
