Charter Renewal Support
When your focus is on your students
and the stakes are high
The average charter school renewal application process takes over 400 hours of preparation, which detracts from the school leader's and staff's ability to do the essential work of serving students and families well.
At Lighthouse, we know what it’s like to deal with labor intensive and high stakes charter renewal processes while running a school. We help you navigate renewal while ensuring your school is able to keep its focus on students, where it belongs.
Our team of experts streamlines renewal preparation and shines a light on your school’s unique impact, ensuring that your school's strengths are at the forefront of the renewal decision.
Our services include:
-
Creating and managing a customized renewal project plan built around your school’s renewal requirements and needs
-
Building a relationship with you and your school community to deeply understand and tell your school’s impact story
-
Crafting a clear and compelling written renewal application with the professionalism and visual impact that makes your school shine
