FAQ Charter Schools - Overview A charter school is a public school developed by one or more parents, teachers or community members authorized by the local school board to provide an alternative educational setting to parents and students in the public school system. Charter schools provide an opportunity to create new, innovative and more flexible ways of educating children. A charter school can either be a start-up (new school) or a conversion school (from an existing public school). The Alternative Education Unit is responsible for the implementation of the provisions of state and federal laws, rules and regulations pertaining to charter schools and the charter school district pilot project.

NW Education: The Wild Blue Yonder: Charter Schools Fly Into the Unknown (Spring 2001) - The U.S. charter school movement is 10 years old this year. In the Northwest, charters were slow to get a toehold, lagging behind such pioneering states as Minnesota, Arizona, and California. But by now they've been around long enough for patterns of both promise and concern to emerge. Here we take you inside this bold new experiment in school reform and show you how it looks from the Northwest perspective. With Alaska taking the lead and Oregon and Idaho close behind, charter schools are carving out a definite niche in the region's school choice mix. Where these brave pioneers are headed is still a big unknown. But the journey is sure to be an adventure. "Charter Starters": Leadership Training Workbook Series - This series of workbooks provides materials and resources in the following five core content areas: start-up logistics, regulatory issues, assessment and accountability, governance and management, and community relations. A training guide is also available for those providing technical assistance to charter schools.

General Information About Charter Schools in New York State Definition of Charter Schools How Charter Schools Are Formed Charter School Employees and Collective Bargaining Definition of Charter Schools The New York Charter Schools Act Charter schools get their name from the fact that they are schools operated according to a charter or plan that describes how they will function, including their educational philosophy and approach and their financial operation. Any charter school opened under the provisions of this law will have the flexibility to operate free of many State and local educational laws and regulations.
