Chartered Nonpublic School Information

A Chartered Nonpublic school is a private school that holds a valid charter issued by the state board of education and maintains compliance with the Operating Standards for Ohio's Schools. These schools are not supported by local or state tax dollars and require the family to pay tuition. Chartered Nonpublic schools are eligible for the Administrative Cost Reimbursement Program, Auxiliary Services Program and Transportation services for students.

For additional documentation and information regarding funding for Cost Reimbursement, Auxiliary Services and Transportation for private schools, please refer to the Finance and Funding topic page.
