TWO NEW ALABAMA CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE OPENING THIS SCHOOL YEAR ALONG WITH TWO CONVERSION SCHOOLS PREVIOUSLY RUN BY MONTGOMERY COUNTY THAT WILL REOPEN AS CHARTERS.

Public charter schools are tuition-free, privately managed public schools. Currently, Alabama has two types of public charters: Conversion charter schools are existing public schools that are converted into charters and have independent school boards, and start-up charter schools are new public schools established by a non-profit organization.
