| Abstract: |
Authorizers are uniquely positioned to influence educational opportunities for students with disabilities in the charter sector. However, to date, only a small number of authorizers have taken proactive steps to address the needs of students with disabilities or to hold charter schools accountable for meeting ambitious learning targets for them. This report profiles the efforts of equity-minded authorizers who have taken actions to facilitate charter schools meeting the needs of students with disabilities. We draw upon interviews with 31 staff members working at 21 charter school authorizers selected based on their implementation of practices that aim to strengthen charter schools' commitment to and success in educating students with disabilities. |
