Vouchers, Charter Schools, and School Districts: <\/span><\/p>\n

Vouchers comes from the State to attend a private school. Not available in California. Vouchers may not cover the whole cost of the private school. Can go to religious schools on federal\/state government funds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Charter Schools are public schools. Many are governed by non-profit entities. Required to comply with federal laws. In California, don\u2019t have to follow state rules such as Unions, not bound by State education code. Have to follow California State curriculum. Provides school choice. Complaints can include \u201cmis-use\u201d of funds; creates competition against public schools; all funding comes from same State pot of money and takes money from District public schools. Charter school can take child from any District. If Charter school is not performing, the District will revoke charter and it will close. But, if a regular public school doesn\u2019t perform, nothing happens.<\/span><\/p>\n
