Nonprofit launches initiative to recruit charter school to Bastrop County
10 Sep 2020
A parent-led organization launched the Bastrop Charter Advocate Network, a nonprofit whose mission is to expand school choice in Bastrop County and attract a charter school to the area.
“We have been on this journey for approximately two and a half years. The parents in Bastrop want a charter sooner rather than later. Any charters we work with will have to ensure that the needs of Bastrop County are met,” said founding board members Mercathea Hughes and Gwen Martin.
