 |  |  |  | 3 | Charter schools can be authorized by local school boards; and by the South Carolina Public Charter School District (SCPCSD) for new starts only.  Revenues pass through the hosting local school district.  The general rule is that charter schools report financial data as a component unit of the hosting school district in annual audits -- that reporting is incomplete as to sources of revenue, and on occasion not included in district annual audits.
 |  |  |  | 4 | Charter schools authorized by [NAME] (the state) receive only state and federal funds.  Charter schools authorized by local school districts receive local revenues.
 |  |  |  | 5 | Language in the charter law permits the district to negotiate a variety of services with charters.
 |  |  |  | 6 | A charter school may give enrollment priority to a sibling of a pupil already enrolled, children of a charter school employee and children of the charter committee, provided their enrollment does not constitute more than twenty percent of the enrollment of the charter school.  A charter school must give priority to in-district children versus out-of-district children, and the out-of-district enrollment shall not exceed twenty percent of the total enrollment of the charter school without the approval of the sponsoring local school board and the sending local school board.  A converted charter school must give priority in enrollment to students enrolled in the school at the time of conversion.

 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 7 | The state does not track charter school revenue by source.  The only source of charter school revenue data is from Annual Financial Reports (AFR) of sponsoring local school districts.  Generally, sponsoring district AFRs report charter schools as separate component units.  However, the AFRs do not consistently report sources of revenue data for charter schools.  Therefore, on a statewide basis the sources of revenues for charter schools could not be determined.
