💡 Myth or Truth? Let’s fact-check! ❌ MYTH: CSP grant funds are simply extra dollars schools can use for regular operating expenses. ✅ TRUTH: CSP funds are designed to support specific, approved grant activities that help eligible charter schools start, expand, replicate, or convert. That can include investments in areas such as instructional materials, technology, program development, and other approved implementation needs. Every CSP dollar has a purpose: building capacity and creating stronger opportunities for students. 🌱

🇺🇸 Today, we pause in remembrance. APCSC joins communities across our nation in honoring the memory of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and recognizing the bravery of the first responders, service members, and countless individuals who stepped forward to help others. Twenty-five years later, their courage, sacrifice, and spirit of unity remain part of our nation’s story and a legacy we must continue to carry forward. #NeverForget #PatriotDay #September11 #AlabamaPublicCharterSchools #APCSC
