charter school leaders
WHO
The Institute
is organized by the Charter Schools Development Center (CSDC), a non-profit
resource center that provides experienced and expert technical assistance,

will be led by veteran charter school leaders from across the state
and from a range of different educational programs.

intensive sessions providing California's charter school leaders with
