Form 990, Part III, Line 1To increase our collective understanding of the challenges, identify viable solutions, and ensure effective charter school practices that justify the trust of parents and students with disabilities, the charter sector needs a credible entity that will be a reliable resource for key stakeholders both in the charter sector and the special education advocacy community. We created The Center for Learner Equity to fill the current void and proactively seek to foster innovations that will benefit both charter and traditional public schools. In creating The Center for Learner Equity, our goal is to advocate for students with diverse learning needs to ensure that if they are interested in attending charter schools, they are able to access and thrive in schools designed to enable all students to succeed.
