At SchoolWorks®, we understand that charter school authorizers are the gatekeepers of educational quality and equity, ensuring that charter schools fulfill their promise of delivering exceptional education to students. Authorizers must strike a delicate balance between oversight and support, managing complex processes while promoting innovation and accountability. Recognizing these challenges, SchoolWorks provides expert guidance and customized solutions to empower authorizers to meet their responsibilities effectively. Our services are rooted in decades of experience and tailored to address the unique needs of authorizing agencies, enabling them to enhance efficiency, transparency, and outcomes across all areas of their work.
“Through our work together, SchoolWorks developed a truly nuanced understanding of the needs of Louisiana’s students. We appreciate the company’s work as a thought partner, its high standards of quality, as well as the high levels of evidence and detail in its recommendations to the Department.”
