WHO WE ARE:
WA Charters knows that Global Majority communities, immigrant and refugee communities, low-income communities, and individuals living with disabilities disproportionately shoulder the burden of the impacts of inequitable access to high-quality public schools. Working for and in partnership with impacted communities is a critical priority of our school services, legal, advocacy, communications, and engagement work to support charter public schools at every stage of their development. By doing so, we believe charter public schools will be a lever to improve educational outcomes across charter and traditional schools for all students.
Washington is the 42nd state to open its public education system to charter public schools, and the charter public school law puts a strong emphasis on ensuring that its charters are high-quality options for students who don’t have access to them currently. The Washington State Charter Schools Association (WA Charters) is a non-profit organization that advocates for and develops high-quality charter public schools that meet the needs of systemically underserved students.
POSITION OVERVIEW:
WA Charters is a small, but mighty team of leaders (6 full time team members), and we expect all positions to contribute to our broader goal of advancing equity in Washington State’s public schools. In order to grow and support a healthy and vibrant charter public school sector in Washington, WA Charters needs an effective communications and creative strategy – one that lifts our state’s sector up as an exemplar of quality and innovation, sets it apart from the national narrative, and enables the organization to achieve a measurable increase in statewide awareness of and support for high-quality charter public schools.
