State charter school law determines who can apply for a charter school. Generally, teachers and school leaders, parents, community leaders, and non-profit organizations can apply for a charter to one of their state's charter authorizers. Nearly all states require the charters governing board to operate as a nonprofit entity. The application process and requirements differ according to state charter laws and authorizer practices. To learn more about starting a charter school, we recommend you first contact your state’s charter support organization or the State Department of Education for help.
