The Ohio Alliance for Public Charter Schools purported 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.
The organization was disbanded at the end of 2016.[1] [2]
