Charter Schools - Funding
Like independent school districts, open-enrollment charter schools receive state funds based on the average daily attendance (ADA) of students. This process is administered through the Foundation School Program (FSP).
Unlike independent school districts, however, open-enrollment charter schools do not receive funds from local tax revenue and do not have access to state facilities allotments. Open-enrollment charter schools may also receive funds from private funding sources.
One possible source of funding for charter schools is the Public Charter School Start-Up Grant. This competitive grant opportunity is available for charter schools that meet the federal definition of a charter school and have never received Public Charter Schools Program start-up funds.
