Charter School Growth Fund
Charter Management Organizations (CMOs) are essentially networks of schools. These schools are managed by a leadership team that provides shared academic, human capital, back-office, operational and financial services. Often launched from the base of a single successful charter school, CMOs combine the autonomy of local, school-based decisions withthe ability to provide leveraged support and effective management across many schools. They seek to create a flexible, scalable and replicable model for delivering results to their students.
