While the Charter School Law Group handles a wide variety of legal needs for charter schools, we are heavily focused on facility financing. We routinely help our clients obtain funding for new schools and expansions. Our firm has worked with a variety of funding sources, including private placement bonds, publicly traded bonds, bank financing, lease to purchase, as well as less traditional sources.  In 2019, the firm represented Colorado charter schools with over $150 million in financing.  

The Charter School Law Group represents our clients in all aspects of contract negotiation and execution, ranging from technology contracts to food services. Because Colorado charter schools are government entities and operate as tax-exempt nonprofit corporations, they are required to include specific provisions in all of their contracts in order to comply with both federal and state laws as well as their charter contracts. Our firm ensures our clients’ contracts comply with the law and that specific roles, responsibilities, powers, and performance expectations are all clearly addressed for each party.  

The Charter School Law Group understands the legal and contractual requirements of charter schools and assists our clients with both board level and administrative governance. When drafting policies for our clients, we help them establish the culture of their organization and understand the difference between board and administrative governance. By developing practical and clear policies, our clients can prevent challenges before they happen and resolve them effectively when they do arise. The Charter School Law Group helps schools develop board policies, operational policies, employee and student handbooks, and standard operating procedures.
