The Ohio Alliance for Public Charter Schools is a nonprofit membership association based in Columbus, Ohio that was formed in 2006. It is composed of more than 200 charter school and related organizational members. It provides advocacy and technical support services for member schools.
The organization was founded with initial grants from the Walton Family Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Fisher Fund and the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools. Bill Sims has been its president and CEO since its inception in 2006.
The Ohio Alliance for Public Charter Schools purports to focus on improving the quality of charter schools in Ohio through its technical support and performance management programs. The Alliance organized a national conference in 2010, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, to exhibit promising cooperative programs between traditional school districts and charter schools and it remains a repository for such collaborative practices throughout the United States.
