Worth Sharing In Other News Charter Schools Program Appropriations Toolkit The federal appropriations cycle is coming up quickly and the National Alliance works diligently every year to ensure funding for the Charter Schools Program (CSP) is protected. What does this mean for CSOs, and why should you care?
There are a lot of variables this year: a new president whose support for charter schools was unclear—at best—while on the campaign trail; a Senate subcommittee appropriations chair, Sen. Patty Murray (WA), who has regularly deprioritized charter schools; and a House subcommittee appropriations chair, Rosa DeLauro (CT), who has proposed a cut to the program for the last two years in a row.

An excellent cost savings strategy we have been promoting is the Missouri Charter School Insurance Program (MCSIP). To-date, three of our member Charters Schools have transitioned their property, liability and workers’ compensation insurance to MCSIP and saved thousands of dollars while improving their insurance coverage. Understanding insurance is typically a top four expenditure for Charter Schools, we are delighted to bring this solution to you and recommend you receive quotes to join MCSIP. Please email Sam Bell to receive quotes to join MCSIP and to take advantage of these potential savings and better insurance coverage.
