About Marc Kenen
Executive Director
Massachusetts Charter Public Schools Association
The Massachusetts Charter Public School Association (MCPSA) is a school-based membership association representing its constituents, the charter public schools in the Commonwealth. Their mission is to serve, support, and advocate for Massachusetts charter public schools as they strive to achieve the goals of their charters.
MCPSA formed in June of 2000, and 2001 proved to be a year of milestones. The Board of Directors held its first meeting. MCPSA became a private corporation and hired Dr. Marc Kenen as Executive Director. In January of 2002, MCPSA achieved a critical goal: 100% of Massachusetts charter schools as dues paying members. In 2004, MCPSA expanded to include a partner 501 (c) (3), TAP, our Technical Assistance Program.
Today all 56 Massachusetts charter public schools continue to be dues paying members, and a democratically elected Board of Directors, which meets quarterly and consists of 15 charter public school leaders, actively governs our association.
