school charter

Academy's founding document

A school charter is a formal document that establishes and governs a charter school—a publicly funded school that operates independently of the traditional school district system.

The charter outlines the school's mission, curriculum, performance goals, and accountability measures.

If the school fails to meet its charter requirements, it can be revoked: The board voted to renew the school charter for another five years.
