Charter school applications
John Wilson made this Official Information request to Charter School Agency
The request was refused by Charter School Agency.
From: John Wilson
Dear Charter School Agency,
I am requesting a list of the 78 charter school applications, including those from new providers and existing state schools seeking conversion, as mentioned in David Seymour’s press release dated 15 August 2024, titled "Overwhelming Demand to Open Charter Schools."
Since this information is already known to the CSA, I expect a swift response.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Yours faithfully,
John Wilson

Dear Enquiries National,
Thank you for your reply.
I want to update my request to include the release of all applications for charter schools. Your earlier response indicated that the "public interest will be met by the proactive release of information" sometime in October. Please provide a specific timeline for when this information will be available.
Additionally, I would like to request any assessment reports related to the applicants.
Yours sincerely,
John Wilson
