Charter Schools Introduction Reports and Articles: Charter School Research Charter School Issues ... Links Introduction Charter schools trade regulations for results. They are freed from most bureaucratic red tape, but in return, they face stiff consequences if their students do not learn at high levels. They are great models of autonomy and accountability. They also tend to be small, intimate schools where everyone knows everyone else's name—the kind of place one would call "community." The charter school movement has taken the education world by storm in the last decade. As of September 2001, The Center for Education Reform estimates that there are nearly 2,400 charter schools and 576,000 charter school students in 34 states plus the District of Columbia (three states have charter laws on the books but no schools in operation). All indications suggest that the number of charter schools will continue to grow. The research on charter schools shows that most charter school students, parents, and teachers are very satisfied with their new schools and chose to associate with them for academic reasons. It also shows that charter schools are not "skimming" the most advantaged kids from the traditional public schools; charter schools enroll even more low-income and minority students than their traditional public school counterparts.

Charter Schools: Are They Needed? Looking at Both Sides of the Debate Michael Lorenzen Most reform concepts work by making changes within schools. However, a newer reform idea works by creating entirely new schools. The charter school movement seeks to improve public school by creating new, rival, and competing public schools. The hope is that competition for students will force public schools to improve. However, many do not believe the free market will actually bring this about and may actually harm public schools. Despite the relative newness of the charter concept, the ideas behind it are not new and an examination of education literature can shed a lot of light on the concept. Description of charter schools The pro-charter school group, the Michigan Association of Public School Academies (MAPSA), defines on their web page that, "Charter Schools are public schools-free and open to all. They are started by interested parents, educators, and business and community leaders. Each school is created with its own unique curricula and is licensed by a school district, community college or, most often, a state university." The mostly anti-charter National Education Association, (NEA) furthers the definition by writing on their web site, "These school are deregulated, autonomous and independent of the rules and regulations that govern traditional schools The theory that underlies the charters is that such freeing of some public schools will hasten educational innovation, improve student achievement, create greater parental involvement, and promote improvement of public education in general. And the theory follows that if there's no educational improvement, the school will be held accountable and the school's charter won't be renewed."
