School Reform Efforts
Progressing Nationwide
(8/8/95) "Long, overdue school reforms are taking place all across the country. Real, meaningful education reforms-such as the expansion of charter schools, school choice and the growth of alternative schools- are all leading to enhanced opportunities for a brighter future for America's school kids," said The Center for Education Reform President Jeanne Allen. "While some refuse to acknowledge these success stories, the support and excitement over these reforms are revolutionizing the schools and building a real movement." Several specific developments in education deserve attention: The Edison Project The Edison Project, a national network of innovative schools, recently announced the opening of four elementary schools located in Sherman, TX, Wichita, KS, Mt. Clemens, MI, and Boston, MA. In all four of these schools, many more students applied than could be accepted. Their focus is to provide a wide-ranging curriculum, expand the use of technology (including a computer for every teacher and one in the home of every student), a longer school day and year, strong staff training, and a teaching structure that allows teachers to work with the same students for several years. New Edison Project middle schools are set to open in the fall of 1996; high schools in 1997. "One need only to look at the demand to get into one of these schools to determine the level of frustration out there for our failing public school system. The Edison Project, led by Chris Whittle, is a positive alternative, taking the best of our human and technological resources and designing a teaching system that is effective, responsive and will provide a quality education for the children participating," said Allen.

Revisiting Charter Schools:
A Growing Component of Public Education
Constructed in the two aims of choice and accountability, the national introduction of the charter school concept has dramatically influenced education policy and activity surrounding school reform. Serving eager families and still expanding, the more than 800 charter schools that have debuted through the end of the 1997-98 school year have provided a laboratory which advocates hope will improve the educational system for all of the nation's youth. Jeanne Allen, President, The Center for Education Reform Charter schools have generated contention, hostility and lawsuits, usually about money, since their inception in 1991. School districts fear that charters will siphon money away from public schools if Average Daily Attendance (ADA) money "follows the child" to the charter school. However, in addition to the fact that charter schools are public schools Allen contends that: (1) children, not school districts, need to come first in decisions on where to spend public dollars; (2) by allowing teachers to focus on and serve children better, charters are really helping retain ADA money for public schools that would otherwise be lost through poor attendance and/or higher dropout rates; and (3) some money is returning to the public schools as parents decide to send their children to charter schools instead of private schools. Positive and negative excitement over charter schools has served to call greater attention to the needs of children rather than bureaucracies. Freed to experiment, charter schools can be a catalyst to reform traditional public schools. In many cases, charters serve to bolster effective efforts already in existence such as alternative schools, YouthBuild and Henry Levin's accelerated schools.

More and More States Embrace Charter Schools
More and more states embracing latest wave in education reform. President Clinton calls for 3,000 charter schools by next century; we're one-quarter of way there. Charter schools are popping up across the country at an increasing rate, dotting the educational landscape like dandelions in springtime. At last count (January 1998), 775 charter schools had been established, and scores more are approved every week. The increase is by design: at the beginning of the school year, a $4.4 million federal grant program was established to meet the growing demand of launching public charter schools. "Every state should give parents the power to choose the right public school for their children," President Clinton said in making the grant announcement. "Their right to choose will foster competition and innovation that can make public schools better. These funds will continue our plan to help America create 3,000 charter schools by the next century." Whether charter schools are prompting improvements in conventional public schools remains to be seen, but one study indicates that teachers, students, and parents are happy with the quality of the educational experience provided by charter schools. The final report of the Charter Schools in Action Project, a survey conducted by the Hudson Institute of nearly 5,000 charter schools students in grades 5 and above, reports these findings:

you are here: Free-Market.Net Spotlight The prospects for school vouchers The prospects for school vouchers In a much-discussed ruling, the Supreme Court said that the First Amendment is in no way threatened just because some parents may use school vouchers to send their kids to institutions with a religious bent. School choice advocates immediately and justifiably claimed victory. "This was the Super Bowl for school choice and the kids won," said Clint Bolick, vice president for the Institute for Justice, which represents low-income parents from Cleveland receiving scholarships from the program at the heart of the case. But while the court may have cleared away a major roadblock to the use of vouchers by families that want to escape inadequate government schools, it didn't order school districts to adopt them that battle will be waged at the state and local level. And many advocates of educational choice buck the popular assessment that they won big by voicing fear that vouchers, if improperly implemented, might actually limit the options available to families. Among the hurdles to be overcome by voucher advocates are the so-called "Blaine amendments" to many state constitutions that were adopted in a late 19th and early 20th century anti-immigrant frenzy. The amendments were intended to prohibit public aid to the Catholic schools then serving the children of new arrivals.

responsibility of Anthony G. Rud Jr. of the Editorial Board Abstract
Among the criticisms of charter schools is their potential to further stratify schools along ethnic and class lines. This study addressed whether Arizona charter schools are more ethnically segregated than traditional public schools. In 1996-97, Arizona had nearly one in four of all charter schools in the United States. The analysis involved a series of comparisons between the ethnic compositions of adjacent charter and public schools in Arizona's most populated region and its rural towns. This methodology differed from the approach of many evaluations of charter schools and ethnic stratification in that it incorporated the use of geographic maps to compare schools' ethnic make-ups. The ethnic compositions of 55 urban and 57 rural charter schools were inspected relative to their traditional public school neighbors.

Basic Questions About Charter Schools
by Nancy Fulford and Bill Quinn, NCREL What are charter schools?
Charter schools are publicly funded, nonsectarian public schools that operate free of the many regulations, restrictions, and mandates of traditional public schools. These schools are chartered, or contracted, as separate legal entities and are accountable for their results (as defined in the contract) at the end of the contract period, usually three to five years in length. Why the interest in charter schools?
The growing interest in charter schools is due to its possibilities as a truly flexible, self-defining alternative for public school reform. The possibilities for innovation, as a vehicle to think differently and organize in new ways, are strong. Charter schools provide choice for both students and teachers. They expand the concept of "choice" with more autonomy from the existing public schools. They are more acceptable to many people than the concept of vouchers, so they are sometimes a compromise when vouchers are being proposed. The federal government is making additional funds available to assist in the start-up of charter schools. The issues that most often are cited for being against charter schools are equity concerns, teacher union contract and certification terms, and unhealthy competition with existing schools. What is the meaning of the terms charters waivers vouchers
