CROSS SECTOR ALLIANCES IN EDUCATION
In this exploratory study, the authors examine the recent emergence of cross-sectoral alliances — groups of organizations voluntarily working together to solve issues of mutual concern — in K-12 education. The article focuses on alliances in charter schools and seeks to 1) analyze the extent to which charter school legislation encourages or discourages alliances; 2) examine the types of organizations that form alliances with charter schools and the range of contributions they provide; and 3) assess the various motivations that lead charter schools and other organizations to form alliances. Implications of the findings for educational practice and policy as well as future research are discussed.
