Mission

THE DIVERSE CHARTER SCHOOLS COALITION CONNECTS MEMBERS WITH EACH OTHER AND WITH OUTSIDE RESOURCES TO HELP IMPROVE THEIR PRACTICE. WE ENCOURAGE SCHOOL FOUNDERS AND LEADERS OF HIGH-PERFORMING PUBLIC SCHOOL IN THE COALITION TO EMBRACE DIVERSITY WHILE SERVING AS A BEACON AND RESOURCE FOR NEW FOUNDERS AND OTHER SCHOOL LEADERS INTERESTED IN CREATING INTEGRATED CHARTER SCHOOLS. WE SUPPORT RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS ON THE IMPACT OF DIVERSITY ON THE ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL OUTCOMES OF OUR STUDENTS AND STUDENTS ATTENDING SIMILARLY DIVERSE SCHOOLS ACROSS THE NATION. WE MAKE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT SUPPORT NEW AND EXISTING DIVERSE-BY-DESIGN PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOLS. WE ADVOCATE THAT GOVERNMENT AND PHILANTHROPIC SUPPORT INCENTIVIZE DEMOGRAPHIC DIVERSITY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
