If the charter fails, it can be shut down – in stark contrast to similar traditional public schools. In exchange, the charter is granted certain operational flexibility. Many charters have been wildly successful. Look over the state’s A-F report cards for schools in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, and you’ll notice a trend. Nearly all the A and B schools are charter schools. Nearly all the F schools are traditional public schools – even though the charters serve predominantly low-income students.

The decision came from a 2017 lawsuit in which Oklahoma Public Charter School Association sued the State Board of Education to receive the same funding sources as school districts.
