Colorado receives $55 million charter school grant from the United States Department of Education

In October 2018 Colorado was selected as one of eight states to receive a $55 million Charter School Program – State Entities Grant from the United States Department of Education.  The grant will support start-up, expansion, and/or replication of approximately 45 high quality charter schools in Colorado over the next five years.

The grant will provide funding for the CDE’s Schools of Choice Office to provide training on quality charter practices for charter school administrators, business managers, school boards and authorizers. Funding from the grant will also be used to help close achievement gaps by giving the Schools of Choice Office support to facilitate collaboration, knowledge sharing, and problem solving to better understand and address access and equity challenges in charter schools.
