How do public charter school developers apply for a charter in North Carolina?
An applicant can request application materials from the Office of Charter Schools at the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (http://www.ncpublicschools.org/charterschools/). The school developers create a detailed academic and financial plan and submit the proposal back to the department. The plan is reviewed by a sub committee for innovation, and developers are interviewed. If the committee chooses to recommend the proposal to the North Carolina State Board of Education who will then accept or deny the application.
