What is the process for obtaining a charter for an open-enrollment charter school?
The State Board of Education requests applications for open-enrollment charters once per year. An eligible entity (i.e., an institution of higher education, a governmental entity, or a non-profit corporation that has tax exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code) must submit an application by the deadline designated by the State Board of Education. For more specific details on the current cycle, please contact the Texas Education Agency’s Charter School Division or refer to the Charter School Division’s web page to view the most recent application.
