We learn how charter schools are adding value to the public education landscape by demonstrating stronger student outcomes and offering innovative educational models. The conversation touches on diverse options, from classical schools to STEM schools, that cater to the specific needs of communities. Charter schools are free, public, and open to all students, and they are often started by educators and community members who want to create a different vision for education. The role of charter school authorizers is crucial in reviewing applications, setting expectations, and ensuring accountability for student outcomes. Authorizers have the power to say yes to innovative ideas and plans that can benefit students and families, and they also have the responsibility to say no when a plan is not ready or does not meet the necessary criteria.
