What Is A Charter School?

Charter schools are public schools that operate under a performance contract, or a “charter”, which frees them from many rules and regulations traditional public schools must abide by. As part of the contract, charter schools are strictly held accountable for academic and financial results.

What Makes Charter Schools Effective?

  • Allow teachers and principals to respond quickly and effectively to specific educational needs.
  • Operate under a site-based decision-making paradigm.
  • Possess full contractual and budgetary autonomy.
  • In providing parents a choice in educational options, Charter Schools stimulate competition – which raises the bar and provides opportunities for all students.

How Do Charter Schools Differ From Traditional Public Schools?

  • Engage parents to be fully committed partners in their children’s education.
  • Possess freedom and flexibility in their educational and financial operations.
  • Enjoy independence and autonomy in their decision making process.
  • These factors allow for the ability to pay for and implement the joint decisions made by Charter School Governing Boards and Administrators.
