A charter school in Colorado is a public school operated by a group of parents, teachers and/or community members as a semi-autonomous school of choice within a school district, operating under a contract or "charter" contract between the members of the charter school community and the local board of education. In a charter school, each student, parent and teacher chooses to be there. The "charter," as defined in the Charter Schools Act (Sections 22-30.5-101et. seq. C.R.S.), spells out the school goals, standards, education design, governance and operations. The degree of autonomy to be exercised by the charter school on such issues as personnel, curriculum and facilities is negotiated between the charter applicants and the local school district and reflected in the charter. School-centered governance, autonomy, and a clear design for how and what students will learn are the essential characteristics of a charter school. Under Colorado law, a charter school is not a separate legal entity independent of the school district, but rather is a public school defined uniquely by a charter and partially autonomous while remaining within the school district. The approved charter application and accompanying agreements are the charter which serve as a contract between the charter school and the local board of education.

Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Rural Education and Small Schools Charleston WV. Charter Schools: An Approach for Rural Education? ERIC Digest. Charter schools have emerged in the 1990s as a prominent and controversial school reform idea. This Digest describes characteristics of charter schools, outlines some tentative research findings, discusses advantages and shortcomings, and summarizes challenges rural communities might face in starting such a school. WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED ABOUT CHARTER SCHOOLS In some ways, charter schools are traditional and tap historic rural roots of public education. They give parents, students, and educators public school alternatives based on the idea that competition will bring educational innovations (Thomas, 1996). But there is potential for controversy, especially in poor rural communities with limited financial and educational resources to support additional schools. Since Minnesota passed the first charter school law in 1991, 32 other states and the District of Columbia have passed similar legislation (Hirsch, 1998). The Center for Education Reform (1998) estimated 1,129 charter schools existed nationwide in September 1998. Most schools were in the South and West. Half were in three states: Arizona, California, and Michigan. Almost another quarter were in four other states: Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, and Texas. While the number of charter schools has increased rapidly since 1991, these schools represented only about 0.5% of public school students in charter states during the 1996-1997 school year (RPP International, 1998). It is unclear how many were in rural areas.

Extractions: The Magnet School of the Deaf has been renamed. Our new name is the Rocky Mountain Deaf School. RMDS provides a bilingual education for Deaf Children. Being visually oriented makes English seem like a foreign language for Deaf children. Since American Sign Language is a visual language, it's a Deaf child's natural language. It provides a child with a rich language foundation to think, learn, and play. American Sign Language, or ASL, provides your child access to the word of communication. But teaching your Deaf child English is also important. In addition to being your child's natural language, ASL is a stepping-stone into learning English. Having a solid first language helps English make sense. The Rocky Mountain Deaf School emphasizes access to communication, academics, and English literacy. The Benefits of a charter schoo l The Rocky Mountain Deaf School was developed by parents, the Deaf community, and educational professionals who saw the need for a school that acknowledges a bilingual education as essential to learning. We welcome involvement and input from both Deaf and hard of hearing individuals. Our School Board reflects this philosophy.

CER Newswire, July 14, 1999 MONEY MATTERS: In 1998, Colorado expanded the list of eligible beneficiaries of the new Colorado Education and Cultural Facilities Authority to include organizations with "an educational program pursuant to a charter from a school district." In 1999 Colorado also gave charter schools direct access to bonds at a public rate by defining charters as a "governmental agency." The Colorado Department of Education has also recommended that the legislature provide institutions of higher education specific authority to construct associated charter schools with their capital funds.
