Meeting Coordinator (Part-Time)

About MCPSA

Founded in 2001, MCPSA is a membership organization representing 70 charter public schools (serving 46,000 students) across the state. Collectively, Massachusetts charter public schools are widely recognized as one of the highest performing charter sectors in the country. MCPSA has an extensive history of supporting and advocating for charter public schools, with the mission of creating and protecting the conditions that will enable the charter sector to thrive, contributing toward the common goal of all children having equitable access to high-quality schools.

MCPSA believes that since its inception, the K-12 public education system has been utilized as a tool to advance and protect systemic racism. From withholding education from enslaved peoples, to separate and unequal segregated schools, to the use of local property taxes and manipulated municipal boundaries as the basis for public education funding, systemic racism has and continues to impact children’s educational opportunities. Our commitment to racial equity is reflected in our Equity Vision and in the work that we do.
