Chamber Supports TPS as Charter Schools Authorizer

Last night, the Tacoma School (TPS) Board agreed to notify the Washington State Board of Education of its interest in becoming a charter school authorizer.

The Chamber supports the TPS Board in its action to become an authorizer, as it also supported the successful adoption of I-1240, the state-wide initiative for charter schools.

Next, the TPS Board has until October 1 to submit intent letters with full applications due December 31. (click on image for a larger view)
