More than 300 charter leaders attended the Ohio Auditor of State‘s first Charter School Summit in Columbus, Ohio, last week (August 11-12). There were two days of workshops and keynote addresses from thought leaders on charter school funding, best practices, changes in the state laws, and other training topics.
Featured keynotes came from Ohio State Auditor Dave Yost, Geoffrey Canada of the Harlem Children’s Zone, Mike Feinberg of the KIPP Foundation, Dr. Steve Perry of the Capital Preparatory Magnet School, and Paolo DeMaria, the new Ohio Superintendent of Public Instruction. The two-day summit provided options for charter school funding and facilities financing, compliance training around Ohio’s charter school laws, record keeping and enrollment best practices, teacher development and retention, cultivating public-private partnerships, and charter school board governance.
Charter School Capital’s own VP of Business Development/Facilities Jon Dahlberg was the panel session, The Challenges and Opportunities of Facility Expansion, presented Thursday morning. Moderated by Dr. Darlene Chambers, Senior Vice President for Programs and Services at the National Charter School Institute, the panel will also include Tom Babb of Constellation Schools, Brian Schneiderman of Self-Help and John Zitzner of Friends of Breakthrough Schools. The panel discussed the availability of charter school funding for facilities expansion and compared the benefits of leasing versus purchasing facilities, tenant improvements.

On Tuesday, February 2nd, Larry Reider, President of Charter School Property Solutions, joined Charter School Capital Co-Founder, President, and CEO Stuart Ellis to discuss facilities financing for charter schools as part of Charter School Capital’s ongoing webinar series.
As the Charter School Movement celebrates its 25th anniversary, there are now nearly 7,000 charter schools in 43 states, serving nearly 3 million students. However, there are more than 1 million students still on waiting lists and many charters are unable to get financing for adequate facilities to support the demand. In addition, as the Charter Movement continues to grow and thrive, many charter schools seek the long-term stability that comes with controlling their own facilities.
In this webinar, Larry and Stuart discussed the relative value of facility ownership versus long-term leasing. More significantly, Larry and Stuart discuss in detail the advantages and disadvantages of a variety of financing options available to independent charters, Education Management Organizations (EMOs) and Charter Management Organizations (CMOs).
For many charter schools, facility ownership has become synonymous with self-determination. However, long-term facility leasing may offer many of the same benefits as facility ownership, often with less capital investment and much less risk.
In an attempt to clarify the risks and rewards of facility ownership versus long-term leasing, Larry and Stuart provide an in-depth analysis and comparison of financing a facility purchase, a new build and long-term leasing options for either a new or renovated facility. Whether pursuing a cash purchase, or a bank- or bond-financed purchase of a new or pre-existing facility, there are many complex factors to consider, including:
While every charter school’s needs are unique, the analysis presented in this webinar can be used to clarify your organization’s facilities requirements and the variety of financing options available to your charter school.

Speaker: Stuart Ellis, President & CEO at Charter School Capital. Stuart is one of the founders of Charter School Capital, the nation’s leading provider of growth capital and facilities financing to charter schools nationwide. The organization has provided in excess of $850 million in support of more than 500 charter schools educating 500,000 students across the country.
What you’ll learn:
We’re excited to announce that American Education Properties (AEP) has acquired Cleveland Arts and Social Sciences Academy’s (CASSA) building in a transaction worth approximately $4 million. This investment ensures that CASSA will continue to provide quality education to its 330 K-8 students, today and into the future.
CASSA opened its doors in 2005 and is supported by Mosaica Education and the school’s authorizer, Ohio Council of Community Schools (OCCS). CASSA recently earned an “A” rating and the designation of Ohio’s highest-ranked community school for value-added by Battelle for Kids.
“We are pleased to have an organization that focuses exclusively on charter schools supporting our mission,” said Debroah Mays, CASSA’s Regional Vice President. “Charter School Capital’s expertise in charter school facilities financing and the support they provide to charters across the country is invaluable and makes the collaboration even more meaningful and productive for our school and the students and families we serve.”
With the demand for charter school enrollment increasing and one million students on waiting lists nationwide, charter leaders require facilities financing options that meet their needs. Charter School Capital and AEP address the increased charter school demand for facilities and the lack of adequate facilities financing options. School leaders are able to retain control of their buildings and make modifications needed in order to expand their enrollment and academic programs. Charter School Capital facilitates all origination and sourcing, underwriting, asset administration, and property management for AEP.
“We are providing a solution to one of the pressing challenges charter schools face – access to facilities and the funds needed for them,” explained Stuart Ellis, CEO of Charter School Capital and AEP. “Charter School Capital has committed more growth capital than any other organization to support the movement and now we are able to ensure that charters have the best facilities to meet their educational goals. With an initial $500 million to invest in charter school facilities combined with our continuing growth capital programs, we are dedicated to providing charter schools access to the funding they need to thrive.”
