The SUNY Charter Schools Institute (the “Institute”), on behalf of the SUNY Board of Trustees, announces the release of the Draft of the 2026 SUNY Request for Proposals (RFP) to establish new charter schools in New York State. The Charter Schools Act of 1998 requires New York’s charter authorizers to accept charter school applications by way of a Request for Proposals process. The statute mandates that SUNY issue a draft RFP for public comment prior to issuing the final RFP.
The Institute welcomes your comments and will review and consider all comments in finalizing the RFP.
The Institute will accept comments via email to: [email protected] through 5 P.M. on Monday December 1, 2025.
