1. Charter school

   A charter school is a school that receives government funding but operates independently of the established state school system in which it is located. It is independent in the sense that it operates according to the basic principle of autonomy for accountability, that it is freed from the rules but accountable for results.

1. charter school

   A charter school is a type of public school that operates independently under a specific contract, or "charter," either granted by government authorities or a recognized educational institution. It functions outside the regulations of the traditional public schooling system, providing parents with an alternative education option for their children. They have more flexibility in terms of curriculum, teaching methods, and governance, but they are accountable for academic results as defined in their charter.

1. Charter school

   In the United States, charter schools are primary or secondary schools that receive public money. They are subject to some of the rules, regulations, and statutes that apply to other public schools, but generally have more flexibility than traditional public schools. Charter schools are expected to produce certain results, set forth in each school's charter. Charter schools are attended by choice. In exchange for flexibility, charter schools receive less funding than public schools in the same area - typically, they receive only 'head' funds and do not receive any facilities funding which typically pays for a public school's maintenance and janitorial needs. Although charter schools provide an alternative to other public schools, they are part of the public education system and are not allowed to charge tuition. Where enrollment in a charter school is oversubscribed, admission is frequently allocated by lottery-based admissions systems. However, the lottery is open to all students. In a 2008 survey of United States charter schools, 59% of the schools reported that they had a waiting list, averaging 198 students. Some charter schools provide a curriculum that specializes in a certain field—e.g., arts, mathematics, or vocational training. Others attempt to provide a better and more cost efficient general education than nearby non-charter public schools. Charter school students take state-mandated exams.

Examples of charter school in a Sentence

1. Principal Dionne Kirksey:

   Youth Connection Charter School has 19 campuses( of which Progressive Leadership Academy is one). I think if Youth Connection Charter School was broadened to more areas and more underprivileged neighborhoods, I think we could be much, much more successful, we touch maybe, 4,000 to 5,000 students a year across our 19 campuses. I think if we had some additional campuses, we could change some more lives.

2. Randi Weingarten:
