The lifting of the NC cap on charter schools has brought charter schools to the forefront of the education debate. A special membership meeting has been called to provide PA members with information about current NC charter law.  It will include a discussion about the pros and cons of charter schools for North Carolina.  The membership will be voting on a set of expectations for Durham Charter Schools, which has been crafted by the PA Education Committee with the support of the Coordinating Committee.  Click Here for the proposed set of expectations.
