Charter Schools in Indianapolis Home About Charter Schools For Parents Chartered Schools ... Contact Us Welcome In May, 2001, Indiana became the 37th state to pass charter schools legislation. The new law gives the mayor of Indianapolis, among other entities, the authority to charter schools. Charter schools are public schools that are freed from most of the regulations governing traditional schools. They control their own curriculum, staffing, organization and budget. In exchange for this freedom, they must meet the highest academic standards. The "charter" is a performance contract entered into with a sponsor, such as the mayor or a school board, that explains what the school will attempt to accomplish, how student performance will be measured and what level of achievement it will attain. A school that fails to comply with the terms of its charter may have its charter revoked.

97. NY GOVERNOR PATAKI PUBLIC charter schools IN NEW YORK STATE Creating new public schools with greateraccountability, greater flexibility and less bureaucracy to help children http://www.state.ny.us/governor/brieftoc.htm

PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOLS IN NEW YORK STATE Creating new public schools with greater accountability, greater flexibility and less bureaucracy to help children learn Additional funding alone cannot and will not ensure excellence and equity in education. To improve schools, New York must find ways to expand the opportunities within public education, encourage competition, and promote innovation. To that end, Governor Pataki proposed and won enactment of the New York State Charter Schools Act of 1998. Public charter schools have five distinguishing characteristics: They are public schools, funded with public dollars and fully accountable to the public. In fact, accountability is so high that a school that fails to meet its stated goals for academic achievement and fiscal responsibility can be closed. They are created by parents, educators, or civic or community groups who can meet qualifications and agree to reach specified pupil achievement goals. They operate free from the bureaucracy that frequently stifles innovation and cripples learning. In exchange for this autonomy and bureaucratic freedom, public charter schools are held to a higher level of accountability than district schools. They operate on a five-year license, and must demonstrate success in order for that license to be renewed.
