Welcome to the MCSN Advocacy action center The charter school movement is accomplishing great things in Maryland, bringing excellence, innovation, and new choices to the public education system. We need your help! Charter schools need active grassroots supporters to help them with the political and financial challenges they face, and they depend on parent and community involvement to grow and thrive. There are a number of great ways you can get involved and make a difference. By getting involved, you'll be demonstrating to decision-makers that charter schools have strong support in the community and making sure your voice is heard in the process.
