Q. |
What is the mission of PUC schools? |
|
A. |
Our mission at PUC Schools is to develop and manage high quality charter schools serving at risk students and create school programs and cultures that result in college graduation for all students. We focus on developing secondary schools partnered with strong feeder elementary programs. We uplift and revitalize communities through the development of educational and other supportive partnerships. Our vision is to facilitate school reform within LAUSD through a regional approach currently focused on the communities of Northeast Los Angeles and the Northeast San Fernando Valley. |

Q. |
Do charter schools have admission policies? Do you "pick" who attends? |
|
A. |
By law, charter schools must have a fair and open admission process, conducting outreach and recruitment to all segments of the community they serve. Charter schools, including PUC Schools, are public schools and therefore we cannot "choose" which students attend. Like other public schools, we are nonsectarian and nondiscriminatory in admission and employment practices. Our students are admitted on a first-come, first served basis, or by lottery when applicants exceed available slots. No tuition is charged. Please contact the PUC Schools campus you are interested in attending for further information. |

Q. |
How much does it cost to attend a Charter School? |
|
A. |
Charter Schools are tuition free. They are public schools and funding for the schools come from federal, state, and local taxes, just as traditional public schools are funded. |
