charter school financing

Charter school financing primarily comes from public funds allocated per student, similar to traditional public schools. These funds cover operations, teachers, and facilities. Unlike district-run schools, charter schools often receive funding directly from state or local education agencies, sometimes supplemented by grants or private donations. They may also generate revenue through facility agreements or leasing arrangements. While they operate independently from local districts, they must meet certain accountability standards to maintain funding. Overall, their financing is designed to enable innovative education approaches while remaining publicly funded and accountable for student performance.
