Great!  2 suggestions: 1) Go to the offices of the Public Charter School Board and get info/resources on the charter process, and read through the proposals submitted (public info) from other would-be founders in the last 2 years, including schools that got funded and schools that didn't (to learn from each).

2) If there are any current charters whose models you like/respect/are really interested in, reach out to their leadership and find out who you can talk to about their founding process and get advice on first steps.

Good luck!  I'm not interested in a Japanese charter at all, but I support all parents/folks with a vision for what they're interested in and the will to pursue it.  Good luck, and please take the advice of other PPs and research the demand in DC.  Unless you are outrageously wealthy and could afford to keep the school open and funded even if you only have 9 students per grade, it would be a horrible idea to go seriously forth without making sure there is a critical mass of parents in DC who see the value in a Japanese language charter and would be committed to one before you start one.

Good luck OP![/quote]
