Legal advocacy

The National Alliance is committed to ensuring local, state and federal laws support a strong and vibrant charter school sector. Whether that means working to support the enactment of strong laws or mounting a vigorous defense against legal threats to charter schools, our team is always ready. We provide resources to help advocates, school leaders, educators and school operators better understand, comply with, and sometimes overturn laws that affect charter schools. Our Legal Team provides resources, connections and one-on-one consultations.

Investing in Litigation with National Impact
