Why become a member of the Louisiana Association of Public Charter Schools? It comes down to two simple reasons:

Resources

What we provide:

• Access to an exclusive funding opportunity: the High Quality Charter Grant Program through the Walton Start-up Grant ($250,000 / school) and the Planning Grant ($10,000/school), available exclusively through the Association
• Access to mentor charter leaders to guide you through difficult charter operations questions
• Access to Monthly Member E-Newsletter with legislative updates, technical knowledge and key dates, and funding opportunities

Networking

Because knowing your peers is knowing you’re part of something big, here's how we keep you connected:

• Discounts to the Annual Louisiana Charter Schools Conference
• Discounts and access to monthly and quarterly workshops, professional development opportunities, and monthly membership

While the LAPCS does not advocate on behalf of your charter school application and cannot guarantee the approval of your charter application, we will help guide you through the process with the authorizer.
