Public Charter Schooling

Public charter schools are publicly funded schools that operate independently from traditional school districts. They are established by groups like parents, teachers, or community organizations and have more flexibility in their teaching methods and curriculum. While they must meet specific performance standards, they are held accountable through their charters, which outline their goals. Charter schools aim to provide innovative educational options, often focusing on unique themes or teaching styles. They are free for students to attend and offer families more choices within the public education system.
