Education / Pedagogy
English term or phrase: Charter Schools
Charter schools are elementary or secondary schools in the United States that receive public money but have been freed from some of the rules, regulations, and statutes that apply to other public schools in exchange for some type of accountability for producing certain results, which are set forth in each school's charter.[1] Charter schools are opened and attended by choice.

I think it was the most helpful to understand the term. However, I translated it as "escuelas autónomas subsididadas por el gobierno". Thanks to everyone who contributed to my question.

Escuelas Públicas Alternativas "Charter"
Las escuelas públicas alternativas operan con libertad en cuanto a muchas de los reglamentos locales y estatales que se aplican a las escuelas públicas convencionales. Estas escuelas cuentan con el auspicio de una organización designada local, estatal o de otra índole que controla su calidad e integridad y, al mismo tiempo, las hace responsables de los resultados académicos y las prácticas fiscales.

  -> I think you've missed my point, but never mind. If you translate it, the whole thing makes no sense. The text is giving you an English phrase and then telling you what it means in Spanish.
