How are charter schools funded?

A: Charter schools are funded through the state and federal government.  Charter schools can usually put more dollars per student directly into the classroom because they don't have a large district administration to support. Charter schools (like other public and private schools) can also apply for grants and corporate underwriting.  As is currently the practice at most public schools, ours will also raise additional funds through booster organizations (i.e. PFA, PTA) as well as through reasonable donations per family in order to support additional resources, such as library needs, field trips, and specific enrichment programs.
