Public charter schools are funded by Oregon tax dollars, although at a lower level than district schools. They do not charge tuition.

Under Oregon law, a charter school is a separate legal entity operating under a binding agreement with a sponsor. A public charter school is subject to certain laws pertaining to school district public schools, is released from others and must operate consistent with the charter agreement.
