Can Fordham sponsor your Ohio school?

As a charter (aka community) school sponsor in Ohio, the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation joins with schools to affirm a relentless commitment to high expectations for all children, accountability for academic results, transparency and organizational integrity, while freeing the schools to operate with minimal red tape. Sounds like your charter school? Or perhaps a new school you'd like to open in Ohio? The Foundation is currently accepting applications from Ohio charter schools, as well as anyone wishing to start a charter school in Ohio, for sponsorship for the 2006-2007 school year. The filing deadline is October 15, 2005. The Application Packet for Community Schools Seeking Fordham Sponsorship can be found by surfing to Fordham's Ohio Charter Sponsorship website. For additional information, please contact Kathryn Mullen Upton, Director of Charter School Sponsorship, at 937-227-3368, or via email at [email protected].
