My public charter school is a participating LEA. Is our charter school required to establish, participate in and/or purchase services from a Network Team?
No. Because charter schools may be unable to contract for the full range of Network Team services offered by BOCES, they are not required to participate in a Network Team. However, charter schools may elect to purchase certain services from a Network Team or participate in a Network Team equivalent. A consortium of public charter schools with sufficient capacity to provide comparable services could be another approvable equivalent team. Regardless of the specific mechanism chosen, public charter schools will be required to provide support to its teachers and leaders that is consistent with the definition and expectations of the Network Teams.
