Purpose: The goal of the New Jersey Charter Schools Grant Program Dissemination 6 Phase 1 Grant is to broaden the impact of charter school innovations and successful practices in order to improve student achievement statewide in New Jersey's public schools. The population served by this grant program consists of students in kindergarten through grade 12.

Phase 1 will start October 1, 2014, and end February 28, 2015.
