The Tennessee Comptroller’s Office is releasing a new collection of resources on charter schools in Tennessee. As of the 2023-24 school year, more than 100 charter schools operate in the state under six authorizers. More charter schools are set to open in 2024-25.

The charter school series includes short publications, infographics, and an interactive data dashboard for Tennessee charter schools. A new publication will be released online weekly over the coming weeks.

Each piece of the collection focuses on a different charter school topic, including details about the application process for new charter schools, the approval and appeals process, the Tennessee Public Charter School Commission, legislative history, and more.
