Mission

The League exists to expand the role of charters in Rhode Island public education by serving its member schools, supporting prospective schools and by leading an engaged dialogue promoting public school choice.

Guiding Principles

The League holds these principles as guiding statements for institutional sustainability.

1. Charter Schools provide an important function in the democratization of public schools; inclusive governance and public ownership by whole school communities moves us closer to true public education.

2. Public schools work best when they are: self-governing, fiscally autonomous, subject to closure, free of bureaucratic restraints, mission driven, adaptive and accountable.

3. Charters need a mechanism by which to form a community; that mechanism is the League. No school shall be denied League benefits due to budgetary constraints.

4. The League's active members have a responsibility to aid and assist approved and applicant members.

5. As research and development laboratories, charters have a responsibility to engage each other in an active sharing of best practices and the League shall support these endeavors.

6. As a League of public charters we recognize our statutory responsibility to disseminate our best practices to the larger districts and teachers unions for whom we serve a research and development function.
