How Does the OAPCS Charter Marketplace Work?

This OAPCS membership benefit serves the needs of charter schools throughout the state. By utilizing the Charter Marketplace, OAPCS members can maximize savings when they take advantage of the marketplace cost-saving opportunities, products and services.
 

How Are Companies Selected to be in the OAPCS Charter Marketplace?

All companies have been reviewed by our team through an extensive interview and referral process to identify key partners that will provide a wide variety of products and services for any member of OAPCS. These preferred companies agree to provide members with incredible services and rates to be part of the Charter Marketplace.
