This Web site and Primers provide background information and resources to facilitate the successful inclusion of students with disabilities in charter schools. They are designed to help charter school leaders develop special education programs, provide support for authorizers to better assist schools they charter, and give policy and practice support for those at the state level. Helpful information on special education is available for every life stage of a charter school, from pre-authorization to renewal/non-renewal. In addition to the primers and other special education resources, a State Matrix is provided to highlight various characteristics of the states which have charter school laws.
