MEET THE STATE CHARTER SCHOOL BOARD STAFF

The Utah State Charter School Board is Utah's largest public charter school authorizer. As an authorizer, we have the important task of deciding which schools will open, and holding them accountable for the educational experience they are providing. Board Members are appointed by the Governor, and Staff Members provide day to day support to help the Board accomplish their mission.
