In keeping with our desire to improve the quality of education in Colorado, RMFC has launched a new initiative called the Charter School Project. The Charter School Project provides information, assistance and referrals to parents and educators with an emphasis on those using E.D. Hirsch's Core Knowledge curriculum. The director of the Charter School Project is Denise Mund. Mund has assisted in the establishment of several charter schools in Colorado and is currently a board member of Jefferson Academy Charter School in Broomfield. During the legislative session, a mass e-mail on legislative issues will be available as well as a weekly legislative update.
Resources are available such as frequently asked questions and national research.
As the Senate sponsor of the original Charter School Act, I've always felt parents know what's best for their child and should be respected in that process. The Charter School Project will help improve the quality and quantity of charter schools in Colorado. I'm pleased to lend them my support. Charter schools are public schools, funded with public money, yet governed by a group of parents or educators who start the school. There's no admission test and no tuition.
