Op-eds Early grades good for charter schools By Kathryn Ciffolillo and Charles D. Chieppo June 5, 2000 Fourteen charter schools recently had their five-year charters renewed by the Massachusetts Board of Education. As debate continues over raising the legislative cap on the number of charter schools, it makes sense to look at how this first group of charter schools is doing. The Department of Education hired SchoolWorks, an independent consulting firm, to send a team of inspectors into each school. "Renewal Findings," published by the Massachusetts Charter School Resource Center at Pioneer Institute, reviews the inspection reports and finds that the vast majority of the schools are on their way to being top-notch models of school reform. Whether they were looking at an urban high school or an elementary school in the suburbs, the protocol was the same: they looked at the stability and effectiveness of the school's governance; the coherence of the academic program and measured results; the strength of the faculty; and whether the school has engaged parents and become an active part of the surrounding community. Are the schools well run? Unlike district schools, charter schools are governed by boards of trustees. Boards can include representatives of founding non-profit organizations, business leaders, members of the community, parents of current or former students, school faculty, and even students.

Box 302101 Montgomery, AL 36130-2101 Dear Governor Siegelman: On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we are writing to alert you to a disturbing effort by U.S. tobacco companies to form “partnerships” with state departments of education and other reputable organizations concerned with the health and welfare of America’s children. This endeavor is another in a long line of cynical public relations initiatives by the tobacco industry to gain “innocence by association” with credible organizations such as yours. While its purpose is to appear reformed and responsible, the tobacco industry uses these relationships to avoid fundamental changes in its unethical marketing and manufacturing practices. We strongly urge you to reject any funding or other type of relationship with the tobacco industry.

A series of continuing education workshops introducing the site to librarians followed, and through the year promotional efforts extended to businesspeople, economic development professionals, and public officials. The digital library grew and improved as the year progressed. The original catalog of 300 Web sites is now 450 sites. New pages of links to Massachusetts Chambers of Commerce, to statewide and regional business assistance agencies, and to business travel sites were added.

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC During the past decade, the fundamentals of American education have been examined with a fine-tooth comb. As consensus grows that the current educational system is largely unable to keep pace with the nation's changing needs, more attention is being devoted to reform. Areas touched by reform efforts include school choice, school-based management, teacher effectiveness, national goals, and student assessment, to name a few. Recently, school governance has also come under scrutiny. Local school boards"the traditional linchpin of American educational governance" (Twentieth Century Fund 1992)are encountering criticism from several sources: state governments, educational experts, and the very populations they attempt to represent.
