Charter Schools Annual Report

Overview

UNDERSTANDING OVERSIGHT

Charter school governing boards and leadership are the primary leaders in the oversight of their school(s). They are responsible for providing high-quality, equitable academic programs to all enrolled students, providing fiscal oversight for their school(s), and ensuring compliance with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations. District authorizers act as an additional layer of oversight for charter schools within their purview to verify that all programs are high quality and accessible for all students.

Office of Innovative Schools and Charter Oversight

Overview

Â鶹ÊÓƵ City Unified School District is guided by the goal that all students be given an equal opportunity to graduate with the greatest number of postsecondary choices from the widest array of options.  One of the ways we accomplish this is through the authorization of independent and dependent charter schools.  

Charter schools are tuition-free public schools that are independently operated under the supervision of SCUSD.  The State of California Educational Code and related laws govern charter school oversight and authorization.
