The Coalition of Public Independent Charter Schools is a national voice for community-based public charter schools. We celebrate and support innovative, inclusive, and transparent approaches to education. CPICS connects school leaders and communities by sharing effective practices through advocacy and service.

Empowering and advocating for public independent charter schools.

Students, families, educators—indeed the entire country—need a national, independent, democratically organized group to advocate for independently managed, financially transparent, community oriented public charter schools as articulated in our Statement of Principles.
