Freestanding Schools
Freestanding schools are educational institutions that operate independently of traditional district-controlled systems. They are managed separately from public school districts, often with their own governance structures, and may include charter schools or private schools. These schools have the flexibility to set their own curricula, policies, and budgets, allowing for more tailored educational approaches. Despite their independence, they are typically publicly funded or hold a public charter status, aiming to provide alternative or specialized educational options outside the standard district framework.
