What is a Charter School?

Charter schools are public schools authorized by local school districts as schools of choice. Charter schools are tuition-free. Charter schools are financially autonomous, have local decision-making capability which enables flexibility, and budget independence. As a result, charter schools typically create a mission-driven educational program which flexibly serves the needs of their students.

How do Charter Schools differ from traditional public schools?

Many charter schools have an independent governance structure. Like public schools, charter schools receive funding from state and local agencies, primarily relating to attendance of its students; however, charter schools receive less money than public schools, approximately 72¢ on the dollar.
