Because All Our Kids Deserve A Fair Shot At A Quality Public Education.
It is critically important to share the truth about public charter schools with elected officials, the media, and the general public. Your voices matter. Our kids matter. We must create the right policy conditions that allow for greater educational opportunity for all children.
The New Jersey Public Charter Schools Association (NJPCSA) advocates for students and their families through support of policies that strengthen the quality of education in New Jersey for all children. In doing so, NJPCSA helps high-quality charter schools flourish and open doors to new possibilities and life opportunities for more students.
