Member Council

The Member Council is an advisory council to the CCSA Board advising on issues impacting charter schools across the state such as academic accountability and the organization's statewide policy priorities. It is made up almost exclusively of school leaders. Most representatives fill one of three types of positions: 1) regional positions intended to represent schools from a county or district, 2) "open positions" intended to represent areas of the state outside those represented by regional appointees and 3) school type positions intended to ensure that perspectives from the various types of charter schools are represented.
