National Charter Schools Week—the annual celebration of charter schools and the movement—will take place from May 10 through May 16.
Charter schools are independently-operated public schools that have the freedom to design classrooms that meet their students’ needs. All charter schools operate under a contract with a charter school authorizer – usually a nonprofit organization, government agency, or university – that holds them accountable to the high standards outlined in their “charter.”
Bladen County has two Charter Schools located in Elizabethtown.
