2021 CSDC Conference Attendees
Partner with the first charter school resource center in the nation: CSDC's Executive Director and Founder, Eric Premack, helped bring the charter concept to California 30 years ago. The Charter Schools Development Center (CSDC) is the nation's longest-running, most experienced charter school support and advocacy organization. In addition to being an effective advocate at the Capitol, we continue to spend much of our efforts doing what we have defined and refined for nearly 30 years: training charter school leaders of all types, including school principals and administrators, charter finance and business professionals, board members, developers, and other charter school leaders.
Work with the largest charter schools market in the country: Charter schools provide communities across California with public, tuition-free, educational options. The charter school movement in California is larger than that of any other state, comprising nearly 20% of total charter schools in the United States. There are approximately 1,300 active charter schools in California, serving over 600,000 students. A directory of all California charter schools by county can be found here.
