Charter Schools

 

      A recent and exciting innovation, charter schools represent a new frontier in public education.  Recently, Pembroke Pines charter school teachers voted 181-46 in favor of BTU and AFT representation.  The BTU has made a commitment to serving the needs and interests of charter schools, and is dedicated to  organizing charter schools in the Broward educational community.
