About 21st Century Charter Sch of Gary

Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.

Charter schools are free, public schools in Indiana that have been “freed” from some of the rules and regulations that apply to traditional public schools and other private and parochial schools, but that are held to a different level of accountability. Because charter schools are actually created by the approval of a “charter,” the terms of the charter must be met in order for the charter school to remain open. While charter schools obtain funding from the State, they only receive a portion of the funds that go to traditional public schools. Charter schools do receive the funds that follow a student in Indiana from public school to public school, but they do not receive the transportation funds and capital funds that traditional public schools receive.
