Charter Facts

Poll after poll shows Democrat voters—especially Democrat voters of color—support charter schools and, historically, so do Democratic leaders.

As defined in federal and state law, all charter schools are public schools. They are tuition-free, open to all students, and held to the same (or higher) accountability standards.

Voters know that a one-size-fits-all approach to education doesn’t work, and they support choices in the public-school system to make sure every child has the chance to get a great public education.
