With that said, significant differences exist between chartered schools and traditional public schools. One significant difference is a majority of states have laws that absolve chartered schools from a major portion of local-district policy and procedure.

The myth that chartered schools are private schools fuels widespread fears that they will take over public education. Because chartered schools are public schools, such spurious claims are both misleading and inaccurate.
