Parents
Charter schools are schools of choice and parents are the ones making the decision about where their child attends school. NCSECS seeks opportunities to better understand the factors influencing parents’ choices related to where their children attend school through research projects that would include parental surveys and targeted parent groups.
While not a parent advocacy organization, NCSECS aims to support parents in becoming informed about their options and rights. The following list of resources provide helpful information on a variety of topics impacting parents.

![“When discretion [over instructional practices] leads to students of color and students with disabilities disproportionately being denied access to instruction at two or three times the rate of their white peers, for multiple years in a row, it’s absolutely appropriate for the DOE to intervene in a manner that breaks the cycle of abysmal outcomes.” - Lauren Morando Rhim, NCSECS Executive Director.
