A '''charter school''' is a publicly-financed school exempt from the usual requirements imposed by the state [[board of education]]. Typically parents and educators organize a charter school to overcome inefficiencies and/or illogical requirements that retard education, such as [[social promotion]] and union-mandated raises which are unrelated to teacher effectiveness (see [[merit pay]]).
