Board and Governance

While traditional public schools are governed by the local school district's board of directors, charter schools are unique public schools that feature a board of directors at the school level. Effective governance is a critical component of a high-quality charter school. Charter school boards are responsible for ensuring effective organizational planings while developing a sound strategic plan to support effective governance and leadership. Learn more.

Enrollment and Communications

Because they operate independently and rely on both enrollment numbers and community support, marketing and communications play a pivotal role in the success of charter schools. From social media to recruitment, they require effective strategies to attract and retain both families and community stakeholders. Learn more.

Health and Wellness

Like all public schools, integrating health and wellness practices in charter schools offers numerous benefits. Regular physical activity, nutritious meals, and access to mental health support contribute to stronger immune systems, increased energy levels, and improved concentration, all of which enhance academic performance. Moreover, promoting healthy habits from a young age instills lifelong patterns of self-care, equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary for maintaining a balanced and fulfilling life.
