AFT: AFT On The Issues: Charter Schools
charter schools The charter school movement has grown from one school in Minnesotain 1992 to about 1,100 charter schools across the country today.
http://www.aft.org/issues/charterschools.html

Extractions: Charter schools are supposed to allow parents and teachers to develop publicly funded schools with the flexibility to be innovative and free of rules and regulations that stifle creativity. The charter school movement has grown from one school in Minnesota in 1992 to about 1,100 charter schools across the country today. Currently, 36 states and the District of Columbia have legislation authorizing the creation of charter schools. The notion of what constitutes a charter school continues to evolve. The original idea for charter schools envisioned a group of teachers, perhaps with the help of parents, developing a plan for a school and applying for a charter from the local school board. Charter schools might have a specific academic focus (e.g., math and science or the arts) or employ specific teaching techniques or target a specific group of students (e.g., at-risk). These charter schools would operate as part of the local public school district, supported by public education funds. However, many charter schools depart from this original vision. If the goal is improved student achievement, students in some charter schools are not faring very well. Studies of charter schools in Texas and Arizona show that there has been no evidence of improved student performance among charter school students. A 1998 UCLA study of California charter schools found that charter schools rarely had clearly defined goals or standards and none was "doing more with less" money. In addition, the charter schools exerted considerable control over the types of students they serve. Unlike other public schools, they’re not taking all comers. In Michigan, researchers found that because of weak monitoring efforts, poorly performing charter schools are not likely to be closed.

Extractions: AFT STUDY REVEALS CHARTER SCHOOLS NOT MEETING EXPECTATION S LAS VEGAS The AFT today released a report at its national convention that found the vast majority of existing charter schools have failed to fulfill their promise to bring greater achievement and innovation into the classroom. Based on its findings, the AFT report concluded that policymakers should not expand charter school activities until more convincing evidence of their effectiveness or viability is presented. " While some are successful and should be used as models, most charter schools dont improve student achievement, arent innovative and are less accountable than the public schools, " AFT president Sandra Feldman said. In too many instances, charter schools are a distraction to meaningful reform rather than a model for effective change, Feldman noted. Do Charter Schools Measure Up?

Charter Schools
charter schools. Defining charter schools is difficult given both the variety ofthe charter school statutes and the types of schools that have been created.
http://www.ncsl.org/programs/educ/c1schls.htm

Extractions: Contacts Overview Since the enactment of charter school legislation in Minnesota in 1991, the number of states with laws allowing for charters has swelled to 29 plus the District of Columbia. In addition, legislatures in Utah, Idaho and Virginia have passed laws in the past two weeks that, if signed into law, will make the total 32. And while only 170,000 students attend approximately 800 charter schools nationwide (compare this with 52.2 million school-age children and about 108,000 schools), this reform is indeed popular. Given that President Clinton has set a goal of 40 states with laws and 3,000 charter schools by 2000, this quick growth is likely to continue, especially with the bipartisan support charter schools have seen in state legislatures across the country. Charter School Arguments PRO CON Charter schools provide families with public school choice options. Parents will have the ability to choose the school best suited for their child.

Cronin, Seattle Times Charter School FAQ's Charter School success requires the establishment of a new learning culture Core Values for Charter Schools Outstanding schools are those that have found the way to unleash the promise inherent in every public, charter or independent school: they have discovered how to challenge students to excel; they have encouraged and supported both personal and academic growth; and they have pledged themselves to uphold time-honored educational values. Washington State's charter schools must establish a learning culture where students assume responsibility for their learning and performance. Our experience at Bellevue International and at Lake Washington International shows that having students repeat a grade can be an extremely effective tool.
