How would Charter Public Schools be implemented in the local school district?
Charter public school proposals – inclusive of the school’s mission, educational program and financial plan – would be presented to the local school board, which has 45 days to hold public meetings and to gather information. The School Board then makes a decision on the proposal within another 30 days. Extensive research, planning and development work are required before the application is even submitted and the school board takes action. RCSI therefore is taking the lead in Rockford to assist charter operators and charter design teams in preparing and presenting the best proposals possible to our School Board.
