What they are and how they differ A higher standard of accountability Enrolling in Charter Schools ENGLISH PDF Version Choice is a big issue in public education, and charter schools are one of the choices that have been getting a lot of attention. There is also a certain amount of confusion about just what charter schools are. This document will help you understand what they are and how HISD charter schools, which must meet higher standards, are better than the others. What is a Charter School? State and HISD Charter Schools: How They Differ There are two kinds of charter schools in Texas. The majority are autonomous, open-enrollment public schools operating under charters granted by the Texas Education Agency, outside the jurisdiction of local school districts. Such open-enrollment charter schools report directly to the TEA and are not subject to the same regulations as traditional public schools. Open-enrollment charter schools receive the same per-student state funding as local public schools but no money for facilities or start-up costs. Then there are HISD charter schools , which we hold to higher standards. Our charter schools operate with the approval of the HISD Board of Education and within the jurisdiction of HISD. Although they are not regulated the same way as the other HISD schools, they are accountable for showing measurable results in return for exemption from many of the restrictions that apply to the traditional public schools. Accountability is the key factor behind the superiority of HISD charter schools to other charter schools.

It has enjoyed significant popularity amongst the Internet Community. PGP is used both for protecting E-mail and File Storage. It presents a way to digitally sign and encrypt information "objects." As such it is well suited for any store and forward application. The goal of the OpenPGP working group is to provide IETF standards for the algorithms and formats of PGP processed objects as well as providing the MIME framework for exchanging them via e-mail or other transport protocols. Because there is a significant installed base of PGP users, the working group will consider compatibilty issues to avoid disenfranchising the existing community of PGP users.

Login Search Help About This Discussion is closed. Practical Applications of the Standards 6/9/04 2:53 PM Author: Mark Cannon It is important to keep in mind what the Principles and Standards are, and also what they are not. In keeping with the flexibility inherent to charter schooling, the standards are not especially prescriptive. They address the ends that authorizers should be trying to achieve (e.g., honoring the autonomy of charter schools while holding them accountable for strong student achievement). The means will often vary based on legal, operational, fiscal and situational constraints that the authorizer faces. My more than 15 years of association management experience and extensive work dealing with standards-setting bodies tells me that the real difference between voluntary or compulsory standards is minimal, and the compulsory route doesn't conform well with what charters are all about because one has to get very prescriptive in writing standards if you are trying to make them stick through the inevitable appeal process. The leverage that any association has against a recalcitrant player is tied up in the public pressure that can be brought to bear. Sanctioning powers (i.e., disbar the organization from membership) are few. So, the real power of persuasion that these Principles and Standards carry is through encouraging their widespread adoption (yes, voluntarily) and generating broad awareness of their existence with parent groups, charter school leaders and policymakers. What NACSA is also committed to doing is developing a number of resources modeled off of the standards so that those with the will are shown the way in a very practical sense.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Charter Schools The following are answers to frequently asked questions (FAQ) regarding charter schools and what they mean for students, educators, schools and communities. The answers to these FAQs are intended to provide only an introductory overview of key issues. Links are provided to take you to areas with additional information. What are Charter Schools? Charter schools are independent public schools, designed and operated by educators, parents, community leaders, educational entrepreneurs and others. They are sponsored by designated local or state educational organizations who monitor their quality and integrity, but allow them to operate freed from the traditional bureaucratic and regulatory red tape that hog-ties public schools. Freed from such micromanagement, charter schools design and deliver programs tailored to educational excellence and community needs. Because they are schools of choice, they are held to the highest level of accountability – consumer demand. How Do Charter Schools Differ From Traditional District Public Schools?

Charter Schools can be controversial Delaware Current Charter Schools Charter Schools not yet open F or many, charter schools offer a chance to find a curriculum and school philosophy that works for their child. For many others, the very presence of charter schools casts a shadow over regular public schools, taking away students and staff while leaving behind those who wonder what's wrong with their school. In Delaware, the charter school system, in operation since 1996, is a public school system. In brief, charter schools are available to all students free of charge; they may operate without some of the restrictions imposed on regular public schools; and they receive the same per unit funding as regular public schools, except they are not eligible for funds for facilities. The Association supports charter schools that have the same standards of accountability and access as other public schools. They have the potential to allow for innovative curriculum open to all.

@import url("http://www.blogger.com/css/blog_controls.css"); @import url("http://www.blogger.com/dyn-css/authorization.css?blogID=10755469"); THE LARGEST PAID NON-DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ARKANSAS Wednesday, May 11, 2005 EDITORIAL>> Charter schools are failing It is the policy in Arkansas as it is in Washington to expand charter schools, the semi-private schools that operate with public funds and with few binding restraints. But somehow we have come to expect bad news whenever the state Board of Education meets to license these little schools. Here and there, a charter school is doing a good job, but on the whole the schools are a giant bust. That is the evidence across the country, and our admittedly meager experience in Arkansas does not encourage their growth. President Bush is a big proponent of charter schools — and private and religious schools, too. The No Child Left Behind Act, the big federal school overhaul of 2001, anticipates that public schools that fail to meet the lofty federal standards will be converted to charter schools. Gov. Huckabee favors them, too, but he hasn’t pushed them aggressively. His state Board of Education has been stingy in granting charter school licenses and state aid, although still not chary enough for us. Charter schools are supposed to succeed because they are freed from most of the restrictions and standards that govern public schools. No one ever answered one question to our satisfaction: If standards were bad for the kids, why not lift them for the public schools, too? Oh, well.

SiteMap To search, type one or more key words below. Search RaceMatters.org Search the web. Page Bottom Charter Schools Fall Short November 23, 2004 Charter Schools Fall Short in Public Schools Matchup By SAM DILLON and DIANA JEAN SCHEMO new study commissioned by the Department of Education, which compares the achievement of students in charter schools with those attending traditional public schools in five states, has concluded that the charter schools were less likely to meet state performance standards. In Texas, for instance, the study found that 98 percent of public schools met state performance requirements two years ago, but that only 66 percent of the charter schools did. Even when adjusted for race and poverty, the study said, the charter schools fell short more frequently by a statistically significant amount. The study added new data to a highly politicized debate between charter school supporters, including senior Bush administration officials, and skeptics who question the performance of the publicly financed but privately managed schools. Deputy Education Secretary Eugene W. Hickok minimized the report's significance even as he released the results. But academics who have been critical of charter school performance called it an important contribution.
