Brookings Governance Studies Brown Center on Education Policy News Releases ... Contact Us Event Summary: The Charter School Debate Brookings Institution February 18, 2004 A Brookings panel of experts gathered today to discuss charter school accountability and whether current accountability standards are sufficient to make accurate, merit-based decisions. Brian C. Hassel, the president of Public Impact, an education policy consulting firm, called the outlook "both half-full and half-empty." When charter schools first appeared a decade ago, supporters celebrated them as innovative models that would ensure educational accountability, since schools failing to meet their performance targets would be shut down. However, skeptics worry that some charter school authorizers (the public bodies empowered by law to oversee charter schools) won't be willing to close failing charter schools. Hassel presented new research based on the compilation of 506 high-stakes decisions that authorizers made as of the fall of 2001, including renewals, nonrenewals, and revocations. Out of that group, 50 randomly selected cases were picked and analyzed in depth. Hassel examined how charter school authorizers are making decisions about school renewal and revocation. In addition, he examined the factors that influence their approaches, and the implications for policies and practices related to high-stakes school accountability. High-stakes decisions include those based on achieving learning goals or meeting goals specific to the charter school's mission.
