Education Management Organization
An education management organization (EMO) is a term of art describing a for-profit entity that manages schools. It provides a distinction from charter management organization which is a ''non-profit'' manager of charter schools. The terms are often used interchangeably, with resulting confusion. Other and older usages of the term describe an organization that develops and distributes school curricula. These organizations in the United States provide the curricula for public schools, charter schools, virtual schools, and homeschooling parents. History In 1991, Minnesota enacted legislation that enabled charter schools. Other states followed. The state or its delegate issues a charter to a school.
