Today, the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools (National Alliance) is honoring 10 charter schools from across America with inaugural Above and Beyond Awards as part of celebrations for National Charter Schools Week (May 10-16). While all charter schools showed exemplary commitment to their students by rapidly transitioning to distance learning this spring, and most offered additional supports like meals and hardware, these schools went to remarkable lengths to meet the needs of not only their students, but the families of their students, and their larger communities in the face of the pandemic. We are proud of the innovative and altruistic ways charter schools are showing up for students and communities—and these efforts have inspired this year's National Charter Schools Week theme, "Above and Beyond."
