Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Charter Schools Taken from a Ball State University press release Message from the Dean of Teachers College Charter schools offer Indiana an opportunity to explore a new type of public education. Ball State University's decision to sponsor charter schools is consistent with its historical mission to make high quality, innovative programs available to Indiana citizens and their children. Far from being an abandonment of public education, this decision reflects the university's longstanding commitment to being engaged with innovations in public educationin all its formsthroughout the state. Charter schools provide another educational option for parents and their children.They are independent, non-discriminating and non sectarian. They operate under a performance contract that allows more independence and freedom than a typical public school. Charter schools will be state funded and must be open to all Indiana students.

Brownell. "Part of Ball State's mission is to serve the state by providing access to innovative educational programs," Brownell said.

During the last three years, the number of charter schools (i.e., public school academies) in Michigan has grown rapidly and currently includes 106 operating schools across the state. The Evaluation Center is one of two organizations asked by the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) to evaluate the charter school initiative in Michigan. While we have not been charged with the task of evaluating individual schools, we will collect a large amount of school-specific data from the 51 schools that we visit. In evaluating the overall initiative, we will collect data and information from charter schools, authorizing agencies, management companies, MDE officials, as well as representatives of traditional public schools and intermediate school districts. This particular evaluation was started in the autumn of 1997 and will be completed in December 1998.

Now it its sixth year, the school currently serves 240 students, 5th to 11th grade, and plans to add a grade each year so that by 2003 it will enroll 288 students 5th to 12th grade. North Star features an 11-month school year (September through July), a longer school day, and 18 students per class. HIGH ATTENDANCE: Since the school opened, student attendance has been in excess of the school’s 95% target and higher than both the Newark and New Jersey rates. The number is especially strong given that students were in school at least an hour longer each day than their peers and a month longer over the year. LOW STUDENT TURNOVER: The student turnover rate for the year was 1.4%. All but two students enrolled at North Star on the first day of school in September completed the 200-day school year at the end of July.
