Charter Schools Offer Options for Families in Southern Nevada

The first two states to ratify laws in favor of charter schools were Minnesota (1991) and California (1992). Nevada offers two types of charters: Nevada and school district (see Nevada Law NRS 386). The Nevada law was passed in 1997 and revised in 2011.Options galore for charter schools in Southern Nevada! Virtual classrooms, distance learning, focus on technology, foreign languages, and the arts are just a list of offerings.  Both the Nevada State Charter Schools and the Clark County School District Charter Schools are authorities which support curriculum innovation, family involvement and student achievement through independent public schools. Charter schools are public schools of choice which serve ALL student populations, provide tuition-free education, offer flexibility and greater accountability.
