Impact analysis
Starting a charter school means startup costs for facilities and staff, while the traditional district could lose per-pupil funding if students transfer.
Families who want a St. George-run school option—and students who fit a charter model—stand to gain more choice.
The existing school district could take an enrollment and budget hit, and students staying in traditional schools may face fewer resources if funding follows departing classmates.
