Charter petitioners are eligible to apply for a charter school planning grant prior to the time a charter is approved. The grants are competitive and limited to availability of state funds. Planning grants are $5,000. Charter petitioners are eligible to apply for charter school implementation grants once a charter has been approved by the State Board of Education. The grants are competitive and limited to availability of federal funds. Absent extraordinary circumstances, implementation grants are limited to $200,000 for conversions, $400,000 for start-ups, and $600,000 for state chartered special schools.
