How much money do charter schools receive?
The amount depends on the number of students the charter school serves and the approved operating expense (based on local, State, and federal funds) of the various districts of residence of those students. If the charter school provides special education programs and services to its students, rather than have such services provided by the school districts of residence, the charter school will also receive any State or local aid in proportion to the level of services provided. Money would follow students to the charter school.
