On April 3rd, Founder & Executive Director Inga Cotton of San Antonio Charter Moms (SACM) announced the launch of the nonprofit’s new, FREE San Antonio Charter School App. The app is a gift to families, allowing area parents and care givers to access information on charter and SAISD Choice Schools (open to all) in San Antonio.
After its release, Inga can share with the evolution of SACM from a blog to a nonprofit and describe how the app helps make finding school information more accessible and equitable for families.
Education is so important for San Antonians, but finding information about school options can be a challenging journey. Inga has lived through that herself. This custom school finder app will offer a mobile-enabled tool to help families find the schools that are the best fit for their children by offering:
Information on 82 public schools of choice, including open enrollment public charter schools, in-district charter schools, and district-charter partnership schools
Information on both open and schools approved to open soon
Interactive map and filters for schools by grade level, location, and school ratings
Up-to-date notifications about application deadlines, lotteries, waiting lists, and other milestones.
The app will be available in Spanish language next month, and could be tailored into versions that include other school types and/or market areas. The app will be available for free download via the iTunes and Google Play stores.
