Massachusetts Inspector General's Office Executive Summary: A Management Review Provides a background on charter schools for the state of massachusetts from the Inspector general. of public charter schools in massachusetts was enacted in 1993 as massachusetts general Laws Chapter 71, Section http://www.state.ma.us/ig/publ/chscx.htm

Massachusetts Office of the Inspector General Report A Management Review of Commonwealth Charter Schools EXECUTIVE SUMMARY November 1999 INTRODUCTION Legislation authorizing the establishment of public charter schools in Massachusetts was enacted in 1993 as Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 71, Section 89 and subsequently amended in 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1998. Chapter 46 of the Acts of 1997, which amended the charter school law, directed the Office of the Inspector General to conduct a study of operations, practices, and activities at the established charter schools in the Commonwealth. In conducting this review, the Office reviewed records obtained from the Department of Education (DOE) as well as from the 24 charter schools in the scope of this review. The Office also conducted interviews with officials of the DOE's charter school office. The Office appreciates the DOE's assistance and cooperation during the course of this review. This report focuses on the business operations of the 24 charter schools in this review. The report findings highlight weaknesses that could undermine charter schools' ability to achieve their educational objectives and jeopardize the interests of state taxpayers, whose dollars fund charter schools. The report recommendations are aimed at strengthening the Massachusetts charter school initiative, increasing charter school accountability, and protecting the public's investment in charter schools. Background on Charter Schools Charter schools represent one facet of a national reform movement that has promoted and engendered innovative public education approaches and organizational arrangements in many states, including Massachusetts. Charter schools are generally free to establish their own curricula, hire their own staff, and control their own finances. In return, charter schools are expected and obligated to fulfill the objectives of their charters. An underlying premise of the charter school concept is that introducing competition into the public education system will have beneficial effects.

Study Shows Link Between School Breakfast and Academic Achievement School breakfast makes a difference for learning. Drs. Michael Murphy and Ronald Kleinman, researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), in collaboration with Project Bread and Boston Public Schools, have found that increasing school breakfast participation is associated with a reduction in child hunger and with improved nutrition, school attendance, emotional functioning, and math grades. These findings, released in November 2000, are from a two-year evaluation of the universal free breakfast pilot program (all students are eligible for free breakfast regardless of family income) in 16 Boston schools. Hunger and Nutritional Status of Students Before the Pilot Program. Based on interviews with students and their parents, researchers found that prior to the start of the pilot program about one quarter of the students in these Boston public schools were classified as hungry or at risk for hunger and about one third of all students were classified as having a low intake of one or more critically important nutrients in their diets. Similar to the results from prior research conducted by the research team in Philadelphia, hungry students and students at nutritional risk were found to have poorer grades and more symptoms of emotional/ behavioral problems.

Review of Charter School Legislation Provisions Related to Students with Disabilities, September 1998 General Legislative Provisions This first part of the review examines statutory provisions that have implications for, but do not necessarily address directly, students with disabilities or special education. Various provisions in state statutes grant charter schools varying levels of authority to govern themselves and to make decisions regarding the operation of the schools, including decisions related to personnel, curriculum, and expenditures. The extent of a charter school's operational autonomy will have an impact on how special education programs are implemented in these schools. As described in the following paragraphs, statutory provisions that give higher levels of autonomy include ones that allow or require charter schools to (1) operate independent from local school districts, (2) make their own personnel decisions, (3) be exempt from state and district education laws and regulations, (4) assume liability for their actions, and (5) receive their funding directly from the state. Independence from districts.
