21. Approval Of Charter Schools Finds Support -- The Washington Times The maryland Association of boards of education, which opposes the Ehrlich bill,has favored legislation that would give chartering authority to local school http://www.washtimes.com/metro/20030316-67223688.htm

Front Page Nation/Politics World Commentary ... Employment Extra March 16, 2003 Approval of charter schools finds support By Vaishali Honawar THE WASHINGTON TIMES      Bills that would allow only local school boards to authorize charter schools are gaining support in the Maryland General Assembly, even as a bill the Ehrlich administration backed languishes in committee. Top Stories      A bill that Delegate John L. Leopold, Anne Arundel County Republican, sponsored has passed the House for the past two years and is likely to be approved again this year. Moreover, a bill that Sen. Roy P. Dyson, Calvert County Democrat, sponsored advanced in the Senate on Friday without amendment.      Both bills would allow only local school boards to authorize charter schools. The Ehrlich bill would create three chartering authorities: public universities, the State Board of Education and local school boards.      Charter school advocates prefer the Ehrlich version, saying local school boards have resisted efforts to open publicly funded, independently operated schools.      Versions of the Leopold and Dyson bills have passed the House and Senate in the past few years but have not emerged out of conference committees. Now that the state has a governor who supports charters, backers of the bill say they are more hopeful a charter-school-enabling law will be enacted.

Front Page Nation/Politics World Commentary ... Employment Extra February 3, 2003 Bill will open way for more charter schools By Vaishali Honawar THE WASHINGTON TIMES      Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. has presented a bill to the General Assembly to increase the number of charter schools in Maryland by allowing public universities and other government agencies to submit applications. Top Stories      Supporters of the Ehrlich bill say it is stronger than those in the House and Senate, which allow only county school boards to open the schools. They also say Maryland is overdue because it is one of 13 states without a law on charter schools.      Mr. Ehrlich filed the bill last week and tomorrow is expected to announce more details, which will include allowing the state board of education to open charter schools.      A hearing for the bill has been scheduled for Thursday before the Education, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee.      Charter schools have become a popular alternative for parents dissatisfied with the education their children receive in public schools. They often are run by private groups using tax money, and they attract many students failing in public school systems. More than 2,400 charter schools have opened in the United States since 1992.      Advocates say school boards are responsible for improving public education and as a result are reluctant to give money to charter schools.

Making Schools Work Better for All Children SOURCE: The Center for Education Reform CER and Education Reform in the News CHARTER SCHOOLS' SUCCESS "Michael Winerip, writing about a negative case in Arizona, says, 'The charter bubble has burst.' Hardly. The number of charter schools in the country has increased every year, to nearly 2,700 today, since the first one opened in 1992. Charters are taking the hardest-to-teach kids — those being failed by traditional public schools — and are helping them surpass their peers. What does that say about the alternatives?" By Jeanne Allen, March 6 2003, Letter to the Editor of the New York Times REFORMERS HAVE A LONG, PROUD HISTORY "Jeanne Allen of the Center for Education Reform offers an important insight for would-be government reformers in any realm, not just education: 'We’ve learned ... that the Establishment want you to believe you ... don’t understand what’s really happening in schools and are wed to the wrong organizations. They also talk about how reformers are dividing rather than uniting, and that if we all just came together, we could make beautiful music. What they would really like is not consensus, but that we all go away. It’s convenient and easy never to have detractors.'"
