About
The address with the least obvious case, and here is the case
Charter School Gallery is built and operated by Stanley Studios. Most people looking for an imagery system search by what they teach rather than by how they are governed, which makes an address like this one a genuine question rather than an obvious win. We think there are two things here that no grade-band page can carry.
The case, stated with its weakness attached
The risk first. A charter operations lead shopping for something like this will very likely search for the grades they serve rather than for their governance model. If that is you, the pages for your grade bands may genuinely be the better read, and they are linked in the footer.
The case is that two of your obligations have no equivalent on any grade-band page. An authoriser with a renewal decision and a reporting schedule; and public-records expectations that arrive with public funding. Neither a district school nor a fee-paying one carries both, and a page written for either would have had no reason to mention them.
Plus one operational fact. Most charters of any size run several campuses through one office, which turns the cross-campus wall from a theoretical property into a daily question about who your central-office accounts can see.
If those three do not describe your situation, this is probably not the page you need. We would rather say that than have you read four screens to find out.
Who builds it
Stanley Studios, which ran the studio side of school photography before it wrote software for it. Standing in the gym first is why the operational parts arrived early: the absence list, the retake that has to supersede cleanly, the family who agreed in September and changed their mind in March.
Two decisions follow from that and both look conservative. Correctness rules live in the storage layer rather than in screens, so a wall applies to a new feature whether or not its author thought about it — which matters more in a multi-campus operation than anywhere else, because that is where a screen-level rule quietly stops applying. And where a clever mechanism is optional, the dull one wins: a photograph reaches a student by a roster lookup rather than by recognising a face.
The plain inventory
Software marketing describes planned work in the present tense and lets the reader sort it out. This is the whole picture.
| Area | State | What that means exactly |
|---|---|---|
| Cross-campus separation | Working | Held in storage, re-checked every build, not a screen rule |
| Campus-scoped and network-scoped roles | Working | Different permissions, not one permission with a wider label |
| One network-level family agreement across campuses | Working | Held per student, defaults closed, consulted at the moment of use |
| Assembling material that leaves the network | Working | Composed from the gated library, so what can go in is what may |
| Writing your authoriser report | Not us | Your team's job; we make sure the material is already governed |
| Telling you what a records request reaches | Your counsel, not us | Varies by state and material; we describe mechanism only |
| Anything purchasable | Early access | Live payment is not turned on; no checkout exists anywhere |
No adoption figures, no network names, no testimonials and no renewal statistics. A product at this stage that displays those has usually manufactured them.
Questions about us rather than the product
Do we read this or the pages for our grade bands?
Both, and they answer different questions. This one is about governance -- your authoriser, public-records exposure, and running several campuses through one office. The grade-band pages are about the rules you inherit from the ages you teach, and those rules are the same for you as for a district school.
How is this different from the private school site?
Both cut across the ladder on governance rather than age, and there the similarity ends. A private school answers to a board it appoints and to tuition-paying families. You answer to an authoriser who can decline to renew you and, through public funding, to the public. Those are two obligations that site has no reason to discuss: privateschool.gallery.
Is this a separate product from the school platform?
No. It is one part of a platform a school runs on, with its own front door because a network operations lead is a specific reader with specific obligations. The platform is at homeroom.software.
What does it cost?
The platform is free to the school. There is no per-student fee and no seat licence, and nothing to buy in any case because live payment is not turned on. Today the business model is described rather than running.
Who reads it when we get in touch?
A person at Stanley Studios. There is no form on this site because nothing here collects anything from you. What a first conversation looks like is on talk to us.
