It's the competitive aspect of the charter concept that makes it controversialand also powerful. The charter school reform concept was largely developed by Ted Kolderie, a public policy expert at the Center for Policy Studies in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Virtual Library This article is provided courtesy of the Educational Resources Information Center What Are Charter Schools? Charter schools are public schools operated under a charter (contract) between a public agency and groups of parents, teachers, school administrators, or others who want to create more alternatives and choice within the public school system. The contracted agencies are expected to produce agreed-upon levels of student achievement within a certain period (usually three to five years). If they don't, their sponsors may end their charters. Charter schools give parents, students, and educators public school alternatives based on the idea that competition will bring new educational ideas. This brochure provides an overview of the charter school movement and directs you to additional sources for more information. What Do We Know About Charter Schools?

LEMON GROVE SCHOOL DISTRICT PHILOSOPHY-GOALS-OBJECTIVES AND COMPREHENSIVE PLANS BP 0420.4 Charter Schools The Governing Board believes that charter schools may provide an opportunity to implement school-level reform and to support innovations that improve student learning. These schools shall operate under the provisions of their charters, federal laws and general oversight of the Board. As needed, the Superintendent or designee may work with charter school petitioners to establish workable plans for technical assistance or contracted services that the district may provide to the proposed charter school. Criteria for Granting Charters In determining whether to grant or deny a charter, the Board shall carefully review the proposed charter and any supplementary information, consider public and staff input, and determine whether the charter petition adequately addresses all the provisions required by law and administrative regulations. In making such decisions, the Board will be guided not only by the value of the charter school’s educational mission but also by issues of student safety and legal liability. The Board shall not deny a charter school petition unless specific written factual findings are made pursuant to law.
