ANSWER: A charter school is an arrangement whereby a community group secures a "charter" from the local school board or state board of education to run a public school. The charter is a contract that lists specific rights, privileges, and expectations. Negotiated arrangements may include financing, school operations, physical location, student enrollment, and accountability. Charters are commonly revoked if accountability standards are not met.
