about map news channels ... sponsored by you are here: Free-Market.Net Spotlight Charter Schools Reforming schools from the inside Charter schools public schools run by independent groups as if they were private institutions can be a bit of a stumper for advocates of choice in education. While school vouchers and tax credits (not to mention the complete separation of school and state ), offer educational alternatives generally free of government interference, charter schools are neither fish nor fowl. On the one hand, they offer a variety of options for families fed up with the public schools' Brand X version of education. On the other hand, charter schools are still vulnerable to political meddling, and may divert energy from efforts to separate politicians from the business of teaching kids. So, how are these charter schools doing anyway? In Arizona, a state that is pretty open to educational experimentation, the Goldwater Institute's Center for Market Based Education (CMBE) conducted a five-year study of charter school successes and failures. Among the study's basic findings: Charter schools can be as inept as regular government schools, but when that happens, the charter schools close their doors. As CMBE put it, "charter schools can fail, of course, but fewer that 5 percent have done so. This is expected and probably even healthy."

Your Charter School is not an Island The Importance of Networking Charter schools can be isolated islands in the turbulent sea of education reform and if divided can become vulnerable victims, which can be easily sunk. Charter schools receive much opposition and criticism from those outside of the charter school community. Collaboration and networking are vital to the charter school community, providing members with opportunities to share success stories and best practices, challenges, and educate the public about charter schools. Why Network The reasons for charter school owners, administrators, teachers and parents to network are numerous. Collaboration offers a forum for participants to: Getting Started o Use the resources offered by NCSC: website ( www.ncsc.info ), conferences, announcements and comments, discussion groups ( http://www.bulletinboards.com/message.cfm?comcode=NCSC o Attend conferences and state meetings.

BACKGROUND PAPER 97-1 CHARTER SCHOOLS Kelan J. Kelly, Senior Research Analyst Research Division Legislative Counsel Bureau INTRODUCTION Charter schools continue to be a major focus of public school reform among educators and legislators. Discussions regarding the benefits and drawbacks to charter schools are occurring at all levelsfederal, state, and local. Proponents and opponents of the charter school concept have developed extensive arguments over the merits of this recent education reform strategy. In addition, practically every major educational organization from the National Education Association to the National School Boards Association has weighed in on the issue. Despite the relatively short history of the charter school movement, a great deal of legislative activity has already taken place. As of October 1996, 25 states and the District of Columbia had written formal charter school laws. In all, about 40 state legislatures have expressed interest in the charter school idea. Recent research has revealed significant differences in charter school laws from state to state. Despite the many differences, these laws are generally divided into two distinct categories: expansive statutes which generally encourage the creation of charter schools and restrictive measures which tend to discourage charter school formation. Many state laws contain a mixture of both expansive and restrictive components.

Charter Schools Charter schools are the newest approach designed to put flexibility into the system. Since Minnesota enacted the first charter school law in 1991, other states have approved a version of the idea. California passed the legislation in 1992; Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Mexico, and Wisconsin did so in 1993; and Michigan, Kansas, and Hawaii passed legislation in 1994. (Missouri passed legislation allowing three pilots, but because of their pilot status, Missouri is not counted here.) As of July 1994, at least 96 individual charter schools had been approved in six of these states (ECS Information Clearinghouse, June 1994, draft). Generally, the laws permit local school boards to approve a charter (i.e., a contract) for a local school. Most states require that 50 percent of the teachers within a building approve the idea, and often the charter must be approved by 10 percent of teachers within the whole district. Most states ask that the school be nonsectarian and that it not discriminate in admissions or employment. Colorado specifies that home schools are not eligible. Since the charter school is designed to encourage a wide range of ideas, very few additional rules are mandated. Teachers are usually allowed to retain tenure or employment rights in their home district, but evaluation of the instructional program is open to design by the charter school applicants. Charter schools run independently of local school districts and are designed to exist outside of most rules and regulations. A charter is essentially a contract, negotiated between those starting the school and the official body in the state empowered to approve the charter. This contract spells out how the school will be run, what will be taught, how success will be measured, and what outcomes will be achieved by the students attending the school. As long as the school meets the terms of its charter, it is free from many of the rules and regulations under which most schools must operate. (Note that some cities - Philadelphia and New York, for example - have called their magnet schools charters. The focus of this discussion is not on magnet schools, but on state-empowered programs.)
