Compliance Calendar (Texas)
Members of the Texas Public Charter Schools Association can access a compliance calendar created by the CSU, via the TPCSA’s member portal. The portal allows schools to track progress, make notes, and add attachments related to compliance items.
Great Resource
“As soon as we got our charter, the Charter Support Unit jumped in to get our first school ready to launch – helping us set up structures and policies, training our board, and supporting compliance. We’ve turned to the CSU’s expert team again and again as our schools have grown and evolved. Great resource.”
– Mike Bileca, President, True North Schools (Miami, FL)
