What is the purpose of the grant?
The Pennsylvania Charter Schools Program (PACSP) represents $30 million in funds available to help Pennsylvania expand opportunities for students to attend excellent public charter schools that meet and exceed state academic standards. PACSP will promote two overriding outcomes:
increasing the number of high-quality charter schools that educate substantial at-risk student populations, and
improving student outcomes in PA charter schools, particularly for at-risk students.
Both interim and summative performance measures have been set to achieve this long-term impact.
