(SHARE ANY OTHER NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS ABOUT YOUR SCHOOL HERE) \n\nCharter schools are public schools, open to all children, do not charge tuition, and they are subject to the same educational accountability requirements as traditional public schools. Charter schools allow parents to choose a high-quality educational environment for their child regardless of income or zip code. The high-quality education that many charter schools provide helps to level the playing field and ensure more students receive the education they deserve. A 2015 report from the Center for Research on Education Outcomes (CREDO) at Stanford University found that charter schools located in our nation\u2019s largest urban districts gained an additional 40 days of learning in math and 28 additional days of reading per year as compared to their district peers. Four or more years of enrollment in an urban charter school yields 108 additional days of learning in math and 72 additional days of reading per year.\n\nPublic charter schools play an important role in public education for your STATE/ DISTRICT. It would be my pleasure to arrange a visit for you and your team to visit a public charter school in your district during the next congressional constituent work week September 30 \u2013 October 11, 2019. \n\nTo schedule please contact me at EMAIL and PHONE NUMBER at your earliest convenience.

Over the next few weeks, Congress will decide how to spend\ntaxpayer money \u2013 and we need to make sure that public education is at the top\nof their priority list.

Public charter\nschools educate over three million students \u2013 but over five million more want to attend a charter school\nand can\u2019t because there isn\u2019t one available to them.

\n\n

Contact your member of Congress to let them know that the\none-size-fits-all approach to public education isn\u2019t working. Congress should\ninvest in public schools that put kids first,\nregardless of their zip code, income, or ability level.

Additional CSP funds are critical to support the launching of new schools, the replication and expansion of successful charter schools, and offering important resources to help charter schools access facilities.
