What is a public charter school authorizer?

2021-08-31T22:40:57-05:00

Unlike traditional public schools, public charter schools are run independently of school districts operating under a performance contract—or charter—with an authorizer.

What Is A Charter School? Charter Schools are schools of choice: choice to parents, students, teachers, and administrators. Parents and students get to choose to enroll in a school that may offer a unique learning environment, such as a school whose science classes are conducted in the field, or offer alternative learning methodologies, such as a specialization in arts education.
