What is the difference between a public school and a charter school?

Posted by admin on September 30th, 2009 and filed under public school | 2 Comments »

I am planning on designing an elementary school for my master’s thesis. Because public schools in the area I am designing on not very good, I was hoping to design a charter school. The problem is that i dont understand the difference. Can someone please explain the difference? I dont want to design a private school because i want it available to the masses. Thanks

charter school
Function: noun
Date: 1992
: a tax-supported school established by a charter between a granting body (as a school board) and an outside group (as of teachers and parents) which operates the school without most local and state educational regulations so as to achieve set goals

public school
a free tax-supported school controlled by a local governmental authority

Basically, the difference is the governments involvement levels. Thanks for doing this.
