What grade levels can charter schools offer?
Charter schools may offer instruction in one or more grades between grade 1 and grade 12 and may also offer kindergarten. If they offer high school grade levels, they may offer local and Regents diplomas to the same extent as other public schools. Note that for students entering high school in the fall of 2001 and subsequently, neither a charter school nor any other public school will have the option of issuing a local diploma.
