Charter School Meeting #1- July 2006
Charter School Grant Information and Ideas
DPI Charter School Yearbook
A charter school gains more freedom from state rules in exchange for greater accountability for results
The charter defines the missions and methods of the charter school
Is developed to fit the special needs and interests of its community, parents, students
Offer a choice to parents and students in the area of curriculum, teaching methods and classroom structure
School board determines whether the charter school is an “instrumentality” of the district. If it is, the district employs all personnel. If it is not, the personnel are considered employees of the charter---we will be instrumentality.
a. If instrumentality, teachers are part of the union, if not, they aren’t
Teachers must be licensed by DPI
Special charter school teaching license that allows for licensed teacher to teach any subject.
Special charter teaching permit that allows anyone to teach who has either a bachelor’s degree in the subject or in a related field or proof of mastery in the trade they are assigned to teach
Students are counted as members of the district-counted in district’s regular average daily membership count for state aid purposes
Grant is for up to 5 years and then may be renewed for one or more terms
The charter must describe the methods the school will use to enable students to attain the general educational goals listing in 118.01 including health/safety
Must give equal access to all students in district and beyond.
Attendance is voluntary with no tuition charged-out of district can apply via open enrollment
Parental involvement in organization and governance is a must
The charter determines the amount of funding. In some cases, district’s per-pupil expenditure follows the student as he moves from a public to charter school. In other cases, the charter functions with less money because of sharing district services.
The state charter school grants pay for planning and implementing costs such as PD, assessment strategies, curriculum development and technology (Q: Would we be getting every student a laptop?) These funds can defray costs not covered by state and local funds, but they may not be used for regular ongoing operational costs of the charter school, such as teacher/staff salaries, facilities or transportation ((Q: Do these get covered out of regular district funds?)
Charter schools are assigned individual school codes by DPI and are accountable for reporting the achievement of the high academic standards described in their charters
The best charter schools balance clear educational goals with their unique styles and missions
Note: On the charter school map, there is a big blank space in our area-no other charters close by
