This guidance addresses questions the U.S. Department of Education has received regarding various provisions of the Charters Schools Program (CSP) statute, including those related to student admissions, the use of lotteries, private school conversions, and the involvement of for-profit organizations in charter schools. It also examines how businesses, faith-based communities and other community-based organizations and individuals can be involved in the development and operation of charter schools. These guidelines do not contain all of the information necessary to comply with CSP requirements, but are intended to provide guidance on the CSP and on examples of ways to implement it.
