The Texas Charter Schools Association will be guided by the following principles: Unify and represent diverse types of effective charter schools that enhance student achievement and are well managed organizations Help create a better definition of an effective charter school that incorporates growth and complements existing accountability system standards for absolute performance Support member schools to improve their effectiveness in meeting educational mission and progress towards student excellence Advocate in legislature and broader public for "effective" charter schools as a critical part of the overall public education system Provide fee based services (e.g., back office support, group insurance purchasing, etc.) to member schools to reduce their overall costs while building itself into a self-sustaining organization The new association seeks an entrepreneurial leader to build a high impact organization grounded in these principles and positioned to achieve ambitious goals for growing the size and quality of the charter school movement in Texas.
