     What:                             All Louisiana public charter schools are governed by a volunteer, non-profit board which holds them accountable for academic performance, fiscal responsibility, transparency and other requirements in the state’s 20-year-old charter school law    
     
     
     
     Who:                             Featured trainer Frank Martinelli, President, Center for Public Skills Training and advisor to traditional public and charter schools throughout America for more than 35 years; Author,      Creating Effective Charter School Governance Boards and      How Community-Based Organizations Can Start Charter Schools    
     
          
     
     Why Should the Public Know about this? Parents of students in charter schools, education reform advocates and community leaders need charter school boards to be effective in order for a school to succeed as well as build positive partnerships with the school community at large; there are 134 charter schools in Louisiana, with the majority of them being in Orleans Parish
