definition: Charter schools are nonsectarian public schools that in theory allow for greater autonomy, flexibility, innovation, empowerment, and choice than currently exist within traditional public school systems. Many African American communities have embraced charter school reform—especially in U.S. cities. [Source: Encyclopedia of African American Education; Charter Schools]
