Can a Charter School have one?

[doombuggy]

Can a Charter School have its own 401(k) plan? or should it have something else?

Would it depend on the state they are in?

It depends on the legal status of the employer. A government or governmental instrumentality cannot adopt a 401(k) plan. It may be possible to get into a grandfathered governmental 401(k). Determining status of a governmental instumentality can be difficult.

In my experience, charter schools are either not-for-profit entities, or for-profit entities - and NOT governmental entities. As, yes, they can have a 401(k) plan. If a non-profit, they could have a 403(b) plan or a 401(k) plan.
