Contact CEP Evaluation of Charter School Effectiveness Project Summary Key Staff Publications Projects Summary This study employed a variety of data collection approaches, including extant state databases, telephone interviews with charter school directors, mail surveys to sponsoring school districts, intensive case studies of 12 charter schools, and interviews with state-level administrators, policy-makers, policy analysts, and stakeholders. The study captured the vast diversity of California charter schools generally and the complexity of understanding their development at the local level. It also shed light on complicated relationships between charters and their sponsors, as well as the philosophical and practical complexities associated with measuring academic outcomes and comparing charters to noncharters. The Legislature wanted this information available to its members as they considered making changes to the 1992 charter school law. During the study, SRI examined charter school policy, finance, and performance issues at the state, sponsoring agency, and school levels. It included carefully designed survey instruments and case study interview protocols. Several findings were based on analyses of student performance data and other school outcomes. The study also relied on extant data, when appropriate, to reduce respondent burden. The study included an Advisory Panel of knowledgeable educators, researchers, and policy-makers.

60. CALIFORNIA'S CHARTER SCHOOL NEWS Funding. Currently, most of california s charter schools have no readily available source of funding to provide them with facilities. http://www.cacharterschools.org/facilities.html

Potential for Charter School Facilities Funding Currently, most of California's charter schools have no readily available source of funding to provide them with facilities. This has proven to be one of the largest obstacles to starting a charter school. Two new laws and a proposal to include charter schools in the proposed state bond measure may alleviate this problem somewhat. The major sources of charter school facilities funding are noted below: Proposition 39 click here . Note, however, that the charter school should first check with the school district before submitting the request letter because the school district may require a specific facilities request form developed by the school district or may require the charter school to use the form created by the California Department of Education, which can be accessed through the following link http://www.cde.ca.gov/charter/whatsnew/p39requestform.pdf.
