Membership Benefits
The New York Charter Schools Association is the statewide membership and advocacy organization for all charter schools in New York State. Membership in the Association pays off. On average, schools receive more than three times the value of their annual membership payment by joining. This is based only on estimated costs associated with advocacy, technical support and guidance, discounts on event participation, and member purchasing programs.
