A charter school allows parents the choice of a free, public education for their child. They are public schools whose operation is autonomous from the local school district and based on a contract with the State Board of Education. It is funded in much the same way other public schools are, but may be initiated and run by a group of parents, educators, and/or community members who define the school’s philosophy, curriculum, governance and fiscal practices under the guidelines of state and federal law. Charter schools typically focus on a special curriculum approach, a new school organization approach or some other feature that sets them apart from local district school offerings.
