Charter Management Organizations

Charter Management Organizations (CMOs) are nonprofit or for-profit groups that oversee multiple charter schools, providing them with administrative support, resources, and shared services. They handle tasks like curriculum development, staff training, and compliance, allowing individual school leaders to focus more on student learning. CMOs aim to ensure consistency, improve quality, and foster innovation across their schools. They operate independently from traditional public school districts but are publicly funded through student enrollment, offering an alternative to traditional district-run schools.
