4/15/13 Preliminary Proposal Public List Updated
The Board of Trustees of the State University of New York (the “SUNY Trustees”), in its capacity as a charter authorizer, has received Preliminary Proposals in response to the Preliminary September 2013 SUNY Request for Proposals. The SUNY Charter Schools Institute (the "Institute") set the deadline for receipt of these Preliminary Proposals at 12:00 pm, April 15, 2013.
The Public List indicates only receipt of a Preliminary Proposal. A proposed school’s appearance on the list does not indicate that the SUNY Trustees have approved or will approve the proposed new school.
Note that applicants who participate in this process must submit a final proposal in response to the final September 2013 Request for Proposals that the Institute will release on September 3 to be eligible to receive the Institute’s recommendation to the SUNY Board of Trustees Charter Schools Committee for approval of a new charter school.
All information listed was reported by applicants at the time of submission, and is subject to change based on further information.
