Charter renewal for Harmony Public Schools is complicated, because there is no longer a separate charter for each school. For example, a bond rating report (link) from 2012 stated "Cosmos Foundation, which operates as Harmony Public Schools, had 11 charters with 36 campus locations as of August 2011." To date, we have not found a publicly-available list of which charters correspond to which schools.
