Charter Schools

CFDA 84.282 PROJECT GRANTS (DISCRETIONARY)

Program Objectives

The program supports startup of new charter schools and the replication and expansion of high-quality charter schools.

Funds also support State efforts to improve charter schools' access to facilities.

Who Can Benefit

School administrators, teachers, and students and their parents are beneficiaries.
