| What is a charter school? A charter school is a public school of choice which operates independently of local school districts. Charter schools are non-sectarian and must follow rules and regulations governing civil rights, health and safety issues. Charter schools are allotted per-student tax dollars for operating revenue and generate additional funding through private and corporate donations, along with state and federal grants. There is no tuition. It is free to all students who are accepted. Who can attend? Anyone living in El Paso or Hudspeth counties can register in the Burnham Wood Family of Schools. Registration is accepted beginning March 1st and the first enrollment lottery is held shortly after March 31st , prior to the start of the next school year. Students registering after the first lottery for classes that have waiting lists will be admitted through an additional lottery. Applications for enrollment will be taken throughout the summer months. Burnham Wood Family of Charter Schools will not discriminate in its admission policy on the basis of sex, national origin, ethnicity, religion, disability, academic, artistic or athletic ability, or the district the child would otherwise attend in accordance with the Texas Education Code. |
