Are there any circumstances under which a charter school can serve as a lead applicant or consortium partner?
Yes. A charter school, to be an applicant or partner, would have to be an LEA — as distinct from a school under the jurisdiction of an LEA. If the charter school is established as a school under the jurisdiction of an LEA, then the LEA, as part of a consortium, could apply and designate the proposed charter school as the site of the FCSC.
