A charter school is an independent public school that is designed and operated by educators, community leaders, and others. Charter schools are sponsored by designated state and local organizations that monitor their quality, but allow them to operate freely. Like public schools, charter schools are state-funded according to enrollment. However, unlike public schools, Ohio charter schools do not receive revenues from property taxes.
