Keeping Parents Informed: Charter Transparency

This resolution highlights information that public charter schools share with parents, as written in the Charter Petition, School Accountability Report Card, Local Control & Accountability Plan, Audited Financial Statements and the Parent/Student Handbook. This information is available for GICS on the website.
