Charter schools must be Oregon nonprofit corporations and have 501(c)(3) status as a federal tax-exempt corporation (the school must be incorporated as an Oregon nonprofit and apply for tax-exempt status before operating). The developers decide the number, terms and selection process of the board members, as well as the duties of the board and school administrator(s); these are included in the corporate bylaws. Charter school boards must follow all public meeting laws (ORS 192.610-690).
