Charter Schools
-
The Knox County Board of Education believes high quality charter schools have the potential to be a useful structure to help effectively educate Knox County students and enhance quality public education choices for all students and their families.
Charter Schools are meant to serve as innovative learning centers where strong teachers and experienced administrators advance each student’s achievement every day, regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, gender, disability, proficiency in English, academic ability, social capital or family income.
