What is a "Charter School?"
A Charter School is a school in the US that receives public money, but has been freed from some of the rules, regulations, and statues that apply to other public schools in exchange for some type of accountability for producing results which are set forth in their individual charter. Mead is an "Instrumentality Charter School," which means we have been authorized by the Wisconsin Rapids Public School District.
Why did Mead become a "Charter School?"
The staff at Mead desired to create a school based on students' strengths rather than their challenges; in essence, becoming a school with a focus on success. At Mead we had always been innovative, but creating a charter school provided the autonomy and flexibility to meet our goals. This was a grassroots effort involving staff, community members, and parents to create a unique school to prepare students now and for their future in the 21st century.
