Today, the State Board of Education determined that nine charter schools approved by the members of the Public Charter School Advisory Council (PCSAC) would receive charters. These so-called “fast-track” charters, the first group of applicants that the PCSAC recommended for state approval, will allow these nine schools to begin operation in the fall.

Congratulations to North Carolina’s newest charter schools:
