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
