Idaho Charter Schools
Idaho Charter schools serve a diverse group of students throughout the state in both traditional brick and mortar settings and more contemporary virtual / distance education settings.
Charter School Defined
Charter schools are publicly-funded, semi-autonomous schools within the public education system that operate under the conditions of their charter document and applicable state and federal laws. Charter schools exchange some government control for an increase level of autonomy, but are held accountable for the same levels of student achievement as traditional public schools PLUS other specified outcomes in the approved charter document. In Idaho, charter schools may be authorized by local school boards or by the State Charter School Commission. On appeal, the State Board of Education may authorize a charter school.
