Now Accepting Nominations for Charter School Friend Awards

Each year, the League celebrates individuals that make significant contributions to the charter school movement, and help our schools focus on achievement. The Charter School Friend Awards are presented in the following three categories:

Policy Award
The Policy Award is given to a person who has helped influence legislative policies that positively affect charter school development. Last year’s recipient of this award was Senator Nancy Spence.

Charter School Leadership Award
The Charter School Leadership Award is given to a person directly involved with a local charter school (i.e. board member, administrator, teacher, parent) that has been influential in developing or maintaining a charter school, or has been highly successful in promoting the charter school movement as a whole. Last year’s recipient of this award was Tony Fontana from Peak to Peak Charter School.

Authorizer Leadership Award
The Authorizer Leadership Award is given to a representative of a charter school authorizer, who has gone above and beyond to help local charter schools become successful. Last year’s recipient of this award was Randy DeHoff and the Charter School Institute.
