Technical Assistance
It is the desire of the charter schools program to provide an accurate and timely response to all questions and concerns regarding charter schools. The design of this website is to offer contact information, technical assistance, and written guidance on different issues pertinent to charter schools. We have made this user friendly by placing the DOE program areas in alphabetical order along with the contact person, and their phone number. Please feel free to contact our office at numbers above, if we can be of assistance.
