We speak and advocate for the hundreds of thousands of other students who are hoping for the chance to attend a charter school. We work at the federal, state and national level to accomplish this purpose. We provide assistance to state charter school associations and resource centers, develop and advocate for improved public policies, and serve as the united voice for this large and diverse movement. We focus on key priorities like replicating and expanding high-quality charter schools, lifting arbitrary "caps" on charter growth and closing the funding gap between charters and other public schools. NAPCS policy experts work directly with federal and state-level organizations to encourage these charter-friendly policies and ultimately ensure charter schools are treated equitably with traditional district public schools under the law. 57791 34800 22991 305175 223075 82100 105091 SUMMIT CASH RESERVES 1877979 F 1877979 deferred rent incentive 123428 123428 X 7331194 2856 2856 7328338 0 7328338 9078919 2856 2856 9076063 0 9076063 Part X, Line 2: THE ALLIANCE IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE U.S. INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND ACCORDINGLY, NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES HAS BEEN RECORDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
