Charter School Closures

The commissioner has the authority to close charter schools that do not meet certain criteria.  For instance, charter schools that do not meet annual state academic and financial standards may be subject to closure.  A charter holder may also choose to close voluntarily, as well as close individual campuses.

To determine if your school is closed, please review Summary of Awards and Closures.

Closed charter schools are managed by a TEA-appointed Board of Managers (BOM) who replace the governing board of the charter and exercise all powers and duties assigned to charter governing boards to oversee the management of the closed charter during the process of completing the closure process.
