Though part of the larger public school system, charter schools typically do not operate in school buildings and are not always mandated to follow the same rules and regulations for school districts, which can make planning efforts for funding, facilities, and emergency management difficult to navigate. Charter schools typically receive per pupil public funding based on student enrollment, but the way they use this funding to acquire, maintain, and operate their facilities varies. The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide considerations for charter school operators, administrators, and safety planning teams and their community partners to think about in their emergency management planning efforts. The fact sheet presents points to consider when developing an emergency operations plan (EOP), methods of engaging the community and promoting partnerships in emergency management planning, and resources.
