Charter school applications + further application and funding details
Kitty made this Official Information request to Charter School Agency
The request was partially successful.
From: Kitty
Dear Charter School Agency,
I am requesting a current list of charter school applications, including those from new providers and existing state schools seeking conversion.
Please also provide information about:
- the number of funded spaces available
- the maximum amount of funding which is available per space
- what is entailed in the first, second, and any further phases of the assessment which charter school applicants go through, such as the criteria used to make a determination about the suitability of a charter school application vs an unsuitable application.
Thank you for your time,
Yours faithfully,
Kitty
