About

While knowledge of the relevant state and federal laws and their applicability to charter schools is critical, your HR team also plays a pivotal role in bringing your charter school’s mission to life.  

When empowered with the right training, your HR team will recruit, onboard and retain top talent, collaborate with leadership to achieve long-term goals, and build an inspirational organizational culture. 

CSDC’s HR Academy has been designed to ensure your team is knowledgeable about critical legal and regulatory compliance, while also providing inspiration for what it might  look like to implement on the ground and in alignment with the mission and vision of your school.
