Abstract: This document, for those new to the charter school movement, provides a "road map" through the five general stages of charter school development: getting started, developing the school, writing the charter, approval, and opening the school. It was created for California charter school founders, but individuals in other states may find it offers a good framework for understanding the efforts required to create and open a charter school.
