  • School Committee Concerns and Resolutions
Resolution on Horace Mann Charter Schools

Charter Schools may be instituted in any School District or Region in one of four ways:

  • Approval of a Horace Mann Charter School application by the local School Committee.
  • Approval of a Charter School application by the district or regional School Committee.
  • Approval of a Charter School application by the voters of a School District(s) or region(s) at a general election or Town Meeting(s).
  • Approval of a Charter School application by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education without approval of either the School Committee or the voters of the district/region.
In cases of approval by School Committee(s) or voters, funding formulae approved by the General Court shall be utilized.

In cases of charters approved solely by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, funding shall be through the budget of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education without usage of Chapter 70 or any other local funds.
