New Schools for New Orleans, in partnership with Charter School Business Management, Inc. (www.csbminc.com), is excited to announce the release of an updated guidebook to Charter School Operations.

While the guide is geared toward charter school operators and applicants in New Orleans, operators across Louisiana should find it useful as well.
