How many items are required on the A-O list for a charter school petition?

• A. 10 items
• B. 15 items on the A-O list
• C. 20 items
• D. 12 items

Answer: (B)

The A–O list is a standardized set of sections a charter petition must address, organized as 15 discrete items labeled A through O. Each section covers essential parts of the proposal—from the educational program and governance to operations, finance, facilities, and accountability. Because the template requires all 15 sections to be completed for a petition to be considered complete, the correct number is 15. Other counts don’t align with the established 15-item checklist used in the petition process.
