The Truth About Charter Schools:
Charters provide a free education and, like other public schools, cannot discriminate by race, gender, religion or disability.
​
1. Charter schools are publicly funded schools that are created and operated by organizations other than local school districts.
​
2. A school's charter is reviewed regularly, typically every three to five years, by the charter school organization.
​
3. Charter schools are classified as public schools by the U.S Department of Education. They receive public money, offer a free education and are held to the same nondiscrimination standards as traditional public schools.
​
4. Note that charter schools are different from other school choice programs such as vouchers and magnet schools.
