èßäapp¹ÙÍø Public Charter Schools

Charter schools are public schools that are intended to provide innovative programs with specific educational philosophies and/or delivery models that offer additional options for students and families within the public school system.  Charter schools enter into a contract with èßäapp¹ÙÍø for sponsorship and they maintain a high level of autonomy in exchange for increased accountability.

The Board of Education of èßäapp¹ÙÍø believes that providing students and families a variety of education choices representing a range of high quality instructional methodologies is an important element in the district's goals and assists the district in meeting the objectives of its Strategic Plan to provide flexibility for programs that facilitate students achieving their very best academic and personal potential.

The mission of the Charter Schools Department is to support and monitor a high performing, and innovative èßäapp¹ÙÍø charter school portfolio, to promote equity and learning for all students, to advocate and act as a liaison for èßäapp¹ÙÍø charter schools and for the district in its role as a charter school authorizer, and to educate the district, parents, stakeholders, and community partners about charter schools.  We pursue our mission through the creation and implementation of transparent, equitable practices as recommended by the National Association of Charter School Authorizers (NACSA) (supported by NACSA membership, conference attendance, and other professional development opportunities), a rigorous application process for new charter schools including review by an internal èßäapp¹ÙÍø team of reviewers, ongoing oversight through annual evaluation of academic, financial, and organizational performance to support and continuously contribute to the improvement of high quality charter schools, productive partnerships with èßäapp¹ÙÍø charter schools and other stakeholders, including parents, community and district and through a systemic commitment to equity and high educational achievement for all students. 

Please contact the charter schools directly if you are interested in applying to their programs.
