PCPCS seeks a credible, politically savvy charter school advocate to serve as Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO will lead a small team of professionals that can anticipate and respond to the sector’s changing needs and build a broad coalition of support for charter schools in the state, and engage with a wide array of stakeholders to advance the priorities of the organization.

The Board has identified the following priorities for the incoming CEO:

• Carry out the mission of PCPCS by aligning key stakeholders around a vision for impact, as called for in the organization’s recently approved multi-year strategic plan;
• Build relationships and trust with key stakeholders in the Pennsylvania charter landscape;
• Reframe the narrative around charter schools to dispel myths and misinformation and reemphasize the importance of high-quality charter schools;
• Coalesce a diverse group of charter operators (including both cyber and brick-and-mortar schools) around a shared policy agenda and more deeply engage members in advocacy and policy efforts;
• Advance and safeguard the movement through a strong advocacy agenda that prioritizes funding, facilities access, and authorization, and defend the movement by lobbying against anti-charter bills, specifically those aimed at limiting charter autonomy and adding compliance burdens to school operators;
• Increase the number of dues-paying members of the coalition and explore new funding models/streams in order to secure greater financial sustainability while expanding outreach to new sources of philanthropic support;
• Develop strategies to increase the influence of the charter school sector in the Pennsylvania legislature.
