As public schools across the country build out remote learning plans to support students during school closures prompted by the novel coronavirus, some of the nation’s most prominent charter networks have made rapid leaps from the classroom to the cloud.
Many of them are holding real-time online classes, checking in regularly with their students and grading student work.

This week, we added 18 charter school management organizations (CMOs) to our database.
