Abstract
AbstractThis study focuses on the creation of a charter school and public school partnership in Pennsylvania. Developing a partnership between a charter school and public district requires careful planning and specialized legal assistance. Successful partnerships can result in significant benefits to the charter school and public school district in the partnership.This study documents in detail the creation and operation of the Beaver Area Academic Charter School, the development of the partnership with Beaver Area School District and the innovative instructional programs that have been created as a result of this partnership. Additionally the study documents the financial benefits and the opportunities to share and consolidate services.The implications of this study for other educators in Pennsylvania can be divided into two themes: (1) Guidelines for those planning to create a charter school partnership with a public school district; and (2) benefits, possibilities and consequences of charter school and public school partnerships operating in Pennsylvania.As the primary founder of the Beaver Area Academic Charter School and as the principal researcher in this study, this dissertation is a documentation of my own learning in this about charter school and school district partnerships. It is my hope that other educators in Pennsylvania can create such partnerships to enhance the academic achievement of students. this study provide guidelines to creating successful public school partnerships.
