Charter Schools Act

California · EDC · §§ 47600 to 47663 · 81 sections

Overview

The Charter Schools Act governs the establishment and operation of charter schools — publicly funded schools that operate under a charter rather than as ordinary district-run schools. It supplies the definitions and general framework for the charter school system, sets out the process by which a new charter school may be created and approved, and prescribes the requirements that apply to a charter school's ongoing operation. The precise standards and procedures vary by jurisdiction, as each adopting state tailors and amends its own version.
