A message from Massachusetts Charter Public School Association

We need your help.

This fall the Massachusetts Charter Public School Association will be kicking off our statewide LIFT THE CAP campaign. Right now, there are over 40,000 families waiting to enroll their student in a Massachusetts charter school. Despite this strong demand, people who want to open charter schools like the one your child attends are unable to do so because state law limits the number of charter schools that can open in Massachusetts.

The charter school cap in Massachusetts must be eliminated so that every child in our state can have access to a high-quality education. Parents like you are the best resource we have in this fight!

With your school leader’s help, we will be establishing CHARTER PARENT ADVOCACY GROUPS in our charter schools and communities. If you are willing to be a part of this growing movement to improve education, please either reply to this message at advocacy@masscharterschools.org or email our State Field Director … Read the rest
