About The Council

Since 1994, Michigan's leading charter school authorizers have been coming together to share new ideas and winning practices relative to oversight and accountability. These authorizers have also worked collaboratively to advance a policy agenda that favors appropriate levels of growth and accountability for charter schools across the state.

The value and influence of this group has continued to expand over the past dozen years. Now formally incorporated as a 501(c)(6) nonprofit corporation, the Michigan Council of Charter School Authorizers provides solid programming, advocacy and leadership for its members. In 2006, the Council named its first executive director and established permanent office space in downtown Lansing.
