Building Up and Training School Support Teams
The Bottom Line program was created in 2013 to offer professional development to charter school administrators in the areas of finance, operation, employment law, and human resources.
The Bottom Line also provides charter school staff and board members with Continuing Professional Education (CPE) opportunities for certified public accountants, Continuing Legal Education (CLE) hours for Louisiana attorneys, certification credits for the Louisiana Association of School Business Officials, and annual state ethics certification for public servants.
LAPCS not only provides training where I gain valuable insight, but they also do a great job of connecting me with charter school personnel throughout the state to create a strong network that I can reach out to when I come across various issues and challenges.

A signature program of LAPCS, Top Shelf was launched in October 2012 to enhance the capacity of charter school boards through recruitment and professional development. LAPCS recognizes the critical role strong governance plays in charter school success. The Top Shelf aims to foster connections among community members serving on charter school boards. We support boards by helping them increase their capacity to lead financially and operationally sound organizations that promote increased student achievement.

Connecting Knowledge with Impact
The LAPCS Charter Board Leadership Academy is an institute that explores the most critical issues facing nonprofit and charter boards in order to improve and uplift the lives and outcomes of the youth in our community. Fellows will not only gain mastery in effective board governance but will also be better prepared to serve on non-profit and public school boards. For novice and experienced community volunteers, CBLA is an excellent opportunity to further your personal and professional development and strengthen your leadership and advocacy skills.
CBLA poured into me…these months together have taught me to be open-minded, a better listener and to give back by serving.
