What is a charter school?
Charter schools are public schools.
Charter schools are free to attend and allow for open enrollment by any student in the district.
Charter schools are encouraged to innovate; they may differ from traditional public schools in some of these ways: length of the school day, length of the school year, curriculum, grade-level integration, dress codes, school culture, and more...
Charter schools are held accountable to performance measures that meet or exceed those of the traditional public schools in the state.
Charter schools operate under a contract; they must fulfill their missions and meet their goals, or else face closure.
Charter schools are a proving ground for educational ideas that will improve educational opportunities for all our children.
40 states and the District of Columbia have charter school laws on the books. Now is the time to pass a strong charter schools law in Kentucky!
