Charter school movement

The charter school movement advocates for publicly funded schools that operate independently from traditional school districts. These schools are granted greater flexibility in their curriculum, teaching methods, and operations in exchange for increased accountability to meet specific educational goals. Charter schools aim to offer innovative approaches, improve student outcomes, and provide families with more choices. They are typically established by educators, nonprofit organizations, or community groups and are funded by taxpayer dollars, but they often have more autonomy than regular public schools. The movement seeks to promote educational innovation and address diverse student needs within the public education system.
