Office of School Choice Charter Schools   • Overview • Charter School Directory • Resources & Materials • Contact Information   Overview Charter schools are public schools that may provide instruction in grades kindergarten through 12. Charter schools are usually created or organized by a group of parents, teachers and other educators, and community leaders or community-based organizations. An existing public school board usually authorizes charter schools. The specific goals and operating procedures for a charter school are detailed in the agreement (or "charter") between the board and the organizers. Key objectives are to: Provide choices for parents and students within the public school system for innovative, high-quality learning opportunities. Stimulate competition in the educational market. To meet these objectives, charter schools are granted increased autonomy in exchange for increased accountability for results. A school charter is typically granted for five years. During its term, the school must meet all the student performance and operational goals listed in its charter, or the charter may be revoked. Charter School Directory Each school has its own enrollment and admissions procedures. For information about how to enroll your child in a charter school, please contact the school(s) directly. >> Go to Charter School Directory Resources & Materials District Accountability Framework web page Proposition 39 Report Proposition 39 provided for the inclusion of charter schools in facilities bond measures and provided for the district's obligation for reasonable equivalent facility accommodations for charter school students.
