About Us
Who We Are
The Charter Schools Action PAC helps ensure that every student who wants to attend a high-quality charter school can do so. To get there, we raise and spend money to elect and support charter champions in Congress.
What Drives Our Work
This year, a record number of families chose public charter schools, where students get a dynamic education built for real-world success. Nearly 4 million students are now enrolled, and that number grows each year.
This increase in demand is no surprise: charter schools get results. Students at charter schools gain extra days of learning in reading and math; and charter attendance has been linked to higher rates of college degree completion and higher earnings potential.
What started with a handful of states and a bold vision has become a national movement. An overwhelming majority of parents – 77% – want more charter school options in their area. Support for charters is strong across backgrounds, neighborhoods, and political affiliations.
What We Fight For
- Legislation that removes barriers to charter school growth, including bills that help charter schools access and afford high-quality school facilities.
- Policies that protect and advance charter school autonomy and flexibility.
- Fair funding for charter schools, including through the federal Charter Schools Program.
