Summary:

The number of charter schools is growing rapidly, offering a new model for public schools. Although charter schools are generally designed to operate with more autonomy than traditional public schools, they are held accountable for meeting the terms of their charters, and risk revocation of their charters if they fail. This report looks at the question of whether charter schools receive their share of federal funds targeted to public schools. Specifically, GAO provides information on how selected states allocate funds from title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA); factors that help and hinder charter schools access title I and IDEA funds; and whether factors that help or hinder charter schools to access federal funds vary by the funding path used in selected states.
