• The Medford School District sponsors four public charter schools. Each one of these schools is governed by a charter board, which operates independently from the publicly-elected Medford School Board. When an initial charter proposal is accepted by the Medford School Board, a contract is developed to ensure the charter school maintains its proposed purpose and complies with all state laws. While charter schools operate independently of the Medford School District and the academic achievement of their enrolled students are tracked separately by the State of Oregon, the results are included among the results for all Medford public school students.
