Sacramento City Unified School District is guided by the goal that all students be given an equal opportunity to graduate with the greatest number of postsecondary choices from the widest array of options.  One of the ways we accomplish this is through the authorization of independent and dependent charter schools.  

Charter schools are tuition-free public schools that are independently operated under the supervision of SCUSD.  The State of California Educational Code and related laws govern charter school oversight and authorization. 

Please direct any inquiries or concerns about SCUSD’s authorized schools to the Director of Innovative Schools, Amanda Goldman at amanda-goldman@scusd.edu or (916) 643-9428.

Below are the most current agreements in place between the Sacramento City Unified School District and its authorized charters.  They include the most recently approved charter, operational MOUs, and facility use agreements

Charter Oversight

Overview

Charter school governing boards and leadership are expected to be the primary leaders in the oversight of their school(s). They are responsible for providing high-quality, equitable academic programs to all enrolled students, providing fiscal oversight for their school(s), and ensuring compliance with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
