About the Charter Management Organization (CMO)

In July 2017, Seton Education Partners officially became the charter management organization for Brilla Schools. The CMO Team, comprised of employees of Seton Education Partners, with oversight from the independent Brilla Schools Board of Trustees, develops systems of support and accountability for Brilla Schools. As the CMO, Seton ensures integration of Brilla’s mission and alignment among all Brilla Schools. CMO employees at Brilla Schools are solely dedicated to services related to instruction, data, facilities, operations, talent recruitment, human resources and employment, budgeting and financial reporting, and fundraising at Brilla. By performing these functions, the CMO team empowers Brilla school leaders to focus primarily on setting a powerful vision for student academic achievement and character development, motivating others to follow that vision, and strategically implementing Brilla’s mission.
