Charter Schools
The number of charter schools — or public schools established by contract with sponsors teaching a specific curriculum or learning style — is growing in Greater Oklahoma City. Several Greater Oklahoma City school districts are authorized by state law to have charter schools with most charter schools being sponsored by Oklahoma City Public Schools.
The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber and other organizations are working with the Oklahoma legislature to expand the utilization of charter schools. Expansion of charter schools will allow districts to improve their performance as well as give parents more options for their children’s educations.
