  1. Charter School Guidance

Charter School Guidance

The Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights has released new guidance confirming that federal civil rights laws that apply to traditional public schools apply equally to public charter schools (PDF, 7 pages). The guidance addresses civil rights subjects in the context of charter schools, including equal opportunity in admissions, provisions of a free appropriate public education to students with disabilities, provision of services to English language learners, and non-discriminatory discipline.
