About GCSA Charter School Information Directory of Schools Charter School Supporters ... Resources Charter School Information Charter schools are public schools of choice. Charter schools are operated according to the provisions of a charter document. The charter document is a contract that gives the charter petitioner the authority and the public funding to operate the charter school and states how the charter school will be run. In order to continue to operate the charter school the charter petitioner is required to meet the performance objectives stated in the charter document. There are 2 primary types of charter school: 1. Conversion charter schools. An existing traditional public school can become a charter school if the faculty and parents at the school vote to convert the school to a charter school (subject to approval of their charter petition). 2. Start-up charter schools. Individuals and organizations can submit a petition to start a new charter school from scratch.

Colorado Department of Education Colorado Charter Schools Introduction This information is taken from the Colorado Charter School Information Packet and Handbook. You can access the complete handbook by clicking the link below. Complete Colorado Charter School Information Packet and Handbook (with Appendices) What Is a Charter School? A charter school in Colorado is a public school operated by a group of parents, teachers and/or community members as a semi-autonomous school of choice within a school district, operating under a contract or "charter" contract between the members of the charter school community and the local board of education. In a charter school, each student, parent and teacher chooses to be there. The "charter," as defined in the Charter Schools Act (Sections 22-30.5-101et. seq. C.R.S.), spells out the school goals, standards, education design, governance and operations. The degree of autonomy to be exercised by the charter school on such issues as personnel, curriculum and facilities is negotiated between the charter applicants and the local school district and reflected in the charter. School-centered governance, autonomy, and a clear design for how and what students will learn are the essential characteristics of a charter school. Under Colorado law, a charter school is not a separate legal entity independent of the school district, but rather is a public school defined uniquely by a charter and partially autonomous while remaining within the school district. The approved charter application and accompanying agreements are the charter which serve as a contract between the charter school and the local board of education.

Charter schools are public schools – independent, tuition-free, non-religious, highly-accountable, cost-efficient public schools operated according to a specific charter. There are now 2,700 operating chartered public schools in the United States. Schools of choice Chartered public schools are schools of choice. Students and teachers choose to attend a chartered public school – no one is assigned. Thus, the school only thrives if it meets the needs of parents, teachers, and students. When a district hosts a school of choice, it also provides a component of the No Child Left Behind Act. Independent Chartered public schools are considered independent public schools. They are free of many state regulations which are replaced by stringent guidelines of the charter. Charter schools must abide by all important health and safety regulations and basic civil rights guidelines that apply to all public schools. They must use public accounting and public meeting guidelines. They are governed by a public Board of Trustees. In New Hampshire, the charter public school
