In Maryland, charter schools are public, district schools with a unionized workforce that is employed by the district. They are governed by non-profit entities that are contracted with the local school board to provide an innovative, high quality school option for families. We currently have 53 approved charter schools across eight districts with nearly 25,000 students.  They are facing a financial crisis with funding allocations under the Blueprint for Maryland's Future. Schools are seeing record low funding due to allowed withholding at the district level - money isn't following the child if that child goes to a charter school. We must act now to secure an equitable funding formula for public charter schools or we will see mass school closures and job loss. Help us keep our mission - The Maryland Alliance of Public Charter Schools' (MAPCS) mission is to empower the public charter school sector to thrive and advance the larger goal of ensuring all Maryland children and families have equitable access to a high-quality, innovative public education. Without public charter schools, innovative and personalized learning will become a thing of the past.  With these funds, we plan to: - Support families in organizing and advocating for their schools across the state - Work to pass fair student funding for public charter schools under Maryland's Blueprint - Ensure that the money is actually following the child to their selected school, for all public schools-Allow for individual students to have the school experience that best fits their needs and prepares them for the future they want-Expand the opportunity for families to stay in their homes and still have great public education options-Create public marketing campaigns that center around public charter school families and allow them to share their stories-Host community events to educate and inform on public charter schools and their funding-Fight to keep our high quality public charter schools open and operating effectively Thank you so much for your donation. We are the only nonprofit in the state advocating for public charter schools. We are taking on the largest fight we have seen in years - a fight for our existence. Your support means so much, as every dollar is needed to do this work.
