Critics, on the other hand, believe that vouchers undermine the public school system by diverting revenues. This year, voters in at least two states, California and Michigan, are likely to vote on proposals establishing voucher programs. The campaigns on that issue promise to be bitter and expensive. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has not yet spoken clearly on the constitutionality of voucher programs. Charter schools, on the other hand, enjoy broad political support. Charters are schools supported with public funding but freed from most government regulation. Both political parties endorse expanding charters beyond the 1,700 schools currently in operation. But little is known about their effect on student learning. The first charter schools were founded in the early 1990s. As the schools’ contracts come up for renewal, scholars are learning more about their effectiveness, as well as the challenges remaining.

Charter schools reflect their founders' varied philosophies, programs, and organizational structures, serve diverse student populations, and are committed to improving public education. Charter schools are freed of many restrictive rules and regulations. In return, these schools are expected to achieve educational outcomes within a certain period (usually three to five years) or have their charters revoked by sponsors (a local school board, state education agency, or university).

Think tanks wrap-up-I Charter school cites lies in firing principal By Jabeen Bhatti THE WASHINGTON TIMES Officials at Options Public Charter School on Capitol Hill fired Principal Clarence Edward Dixon yesterday, saying he lied to his employers about his criminal background and misrepresented himself. "He falsified his resume and lied on his [background-check] application," said Vickie Frazier-Williams, vice president of communications for Chancellor Beacon Academies Inc., the school's management company. "He lied to us, and that is the bottom line." School officials appointed the school's vice principal, Monique Murdock, interim principal Thursday. The action was taken after The Washington Times reported Thursday that Mr. Dixon is a felon with a long arrest record and was on probation for credit card fraud when he took charge of Options in June. Chancellor Beacon officials said their reviews of applicants' backgrounds include checking references and asking applicants to apply for documents from state and city governments showing that they do not have criminal records. Because it is a private company and not a public agency, Chancellor Beacon cannot apply for police background checks, officials said. Chancellor officials were not aware of Mr. Dixon's past because they had received documents from the District and Maryland showing that he did not have a criminal record.
