For and About Members Help for Parents Press Center Legislative Action Center ... Vouchers Updated: May 26, 2004 Research NEA Resources Other Resources Charter Schools NEA policy embraces high standards, accountability and strong local control for charter schools. It also offers guidance in the form of various criteria that can significantly improve the chances for success of these programs, which after 10 years are still in the experimental stage. Among other things, NEA firmly believes that all affected public education employees must be directly involved in the design, implementation and governance of these and other educational programs. Failures spur review of charter school laws Charter schools are part of the landscape of public education. According to the Education Commission of the States, as of August 2001 there were more than 2,300 public charter schools serving more than 500,000 students nationwide. The Commission reported that 37 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have laws providing funding and permitting charter schools to operate. However, many of those statutes are being revisited and revised in light of a number of charter school failures, some with disastrous consequences for students. NEA's position on charter schools is necessarily general. State laws and regulations vary widely, and NEA state affiliates have positions that are appropriate to the situation in their states. For example, accountability for meeting high academic standards is an essential component of successful charter schools. But not all state charter laws have strong accountability requirements. In addition, not all state laws require charter schools to develop programs conforming with state or local academic standards, and many charter laws do not require charters to participate in the state accountability system.

Kellogg Foundation. It will involve hundreds of young District children, aiming to work with the public school system, parents and city government agencies to initiate a groundbreaking program that can serve as a model for the entire District, providing both quality early education and school readiness. The pilot early education project includes: Calvary Bilingual Multicultural Center and Tubman Elementary School Kenilworth Parkside and Kenilworth Elementary School Frederick Douglass II Center and Turner Elementary School The project, called DC SPARK, intends to provide stepped-up school readiness through programs that service District children ages 3 to 6, providing early learning settings that stress quality early education teachers, emphasizing comprehensive child development and readiness skills that are located at community sites so that both parents and providers are encouraged to be involved in the pilot program. In addition, DC SPARK seeks to coordinate with the District's public school system to insure that the schools are ready for young kids with effective transition practices. "I am so very pleased the Kellogg Foundation chose the District of Columbia for this initiative. It will move us closer to my long term goal to insure that quality preschool education is available to all children beginning at age three. I believe that SPARK DC can be an important catalyst for improving school readiness for our children and building community will around early education." said Kevin Chavous, Chair of the DC Council Committee on Education, Libraries and Recreation.
