Community-based organizations (CBOs) have a history of providing supplemental goods and services to schools, but recent research has found that the potential benefits of this involvement are greater when it extends to the core of schooling. The permissive policy environment within which charter schools function coupled with operational and budgetary challenges promote increased CBO involvement.

520 $a Community-based organizations (CBOs) have a history of providing supplemental goods and services to schools, but recent research has found that the potential benefits of this involvement are greater when it extends to the core of schooling. The permissive policy environment within which charter schools function coupled with operational and budgetary challenges promote increased CBO involvement.
520 $a This study utilizes a qualitative case study approach to examine charter school-CBO alliances in 19 charter schools in 11 states. A theoretical framework of inter-organizational collaboration is employed to assess the different types of alliances that exist, how these alliances develop, and their impacts.
520 $a Findings revealed that CBO alliances differed across four dimensions: origin, content, form, and depth. Origin distinguished whether independent organizations had formed an alliance or if a pre-existing CBO created a charter school. Content related to the goods or services exchanged and included financial, human, physical, and organizational resources. Form indicated either informal or formal agreements. Finally, depth separated alliances in which only the leaders of each organization were involved from those with involvement across multiple levels of the organizations.
520 $a Consistent with prior research, alliances in the study population developed in three stages---initiation, operations, and evaluation---characterized by certain structures and processes, including a champion to lead the effort, financial, organizational, and political motivations, power distribution, information dissemination, rewards, training, leadership, and accountability. However, many alliances had not yet established formal accountability systems. Evaluation was likewise in the early stages, with the majority of leaders reporting informal, ad hoc evaluation.
520 $a Data regarding the impacts of charter school-CBO alliances revealed that partners offered a range of resources. In many cases, involvement mirrored that found in non-charter schools: The CBOs remained on the periphery of the school. In other cases, though, particularly when CBOs played a role in the establishment of charter schools, their involvement affected the core of schooling---shaping the school's mission, providing a unique curriculum---as well as the broader environment.
520 $a This research has implications for charter school operators seeking to develop alliances, as well as for policymakers, who shape legislation that can mandate, facilitate, or restrict alliances.
