Section one contains resources on how to review charter petitions, including sample charters, suggested charter evaluation criteria, sample charter review process, sample financial plans and business plan criteria, and pre-operations school start-up check lists.

CONTACT Event Transcript March 2, 2000 Charter Schools in Action: Renewing Public Education THE REVEREND FLOYD FLAKE: The timeliness of today's event is illustrated by yesterday's edition of the USA Today, which indicates that education in the United States is still not equal. It says that 40 years after the Supreme Court's decision on Brown v. Board of Education, public schools still fail to provide minorities the same quality of education that they provide to white students, according to a recently released report. As I introduce our speakers, it is important that we keep in mind that so many young people in our urban communities are not getting a proper education. When I first opened Charter Schools in Action, I turned to the index and saw a section that spoke of how charter schools could positively impact community development. After reading the book I cannot help but conclude that the authors' three years of work has been not only a yeoman's task, but also one that has been well worth the time and effort. The entire experience was certainly rewarding to those who trusted them enough to put money towards making this project become a reality. I've spoken with the authors at various occasions, and I have been with them in various parts of the country. I know them both to be extremely capable and gifted. Checker Finn is the John Olin Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, as well as being the President of the Thomas Fordham Foundation. Bruno Manno is a Senior Fellow in Education of the Casey Foundation. The two have made some very important contributions to the national debate on school choice, and it is my pleasure and privilege to introduce Bruno Manno as our first speaker:

NCREL's Policy Publications Charters in Our Midst: An Overview Previous section Next section Contents Pathways ... home page by Nancy Fulford, NCREL Nancy Fulford is a program associate with NCREL's Evaluation and Policy Information Center (EPIC). She is the editor of NCREL's Policy Briefs and has been studying charter schools since 1991. Strong supporters of charter schools include parents who have been given the opportunity to choose schools that they hope will benefit their children in specific ways. Indeed, just the opportunity to choose and to be involved in the school in a meaningful way is very important to these parents (parent interviews, Spring 1997). But parent satisfaction does not necessarily mean that children are receiving a better education in charter schools.(A discussion of the impact or likely impact of charters on school reform is included later in this publication.) What do researchers say about charter schools? At this stage, there have not been a significant number of substantive research studies finding increased student performance in charter schools. However, the experts agree that charter schools are a force to be reckoned with and are not likely to go away soon (Howard Fuller interview, February 6, 1997). What Are Charter Schools?

Archives Rural Policy Matters a newsletter of rural school and community action Colorado Charters: An Antidote for Consolidation? The charter school idea has helped several rural Colorado communities avoid unnecessary and ill-advised school consolidation. Rural school consolidation, a popular trend during America's industrial age that continues today, has left hundreds of rural Colorado communities without local educational autonomy. Although most rural towns in Colorado have their own historic one-room or two-room schoolhouses, for decades residents of these remote towns have been forced to send their children out of town to attend school, with bus rides as long as three or four hours per day. The schools their children attend are typically in larger rural towns that serve as the central consolidated school district headquarters for a large geographic area. In the past five years, however, seven remote Colorado communities with seldom heard names like Guffey, Marble, and Paradox have broken through the inequities of school consolidation. Using the Colorado Charter School Act, they gained the right to retain and operate their own local school as a charter.

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Charter Schools A report from the National Institute on Student Achievement, Curriculum, and Assessment December 1998 Charter Schools: A State Legislative Update* Charter School Legislation. Charter schools are a growing phenomenon in American education. The first charter school law was passed in Minnesota in 1991; the second, by California in 1992. By June 1998, 33 states and the District of Columbia had passed charter school legislation. (See Figures 1 and 2.) Four of these states (Idaho, Missouri, Virginia and Utah) passed charter school laws during the 1997-98 legislative session. Puerto Rico also has charter school legislation. The purpose of this legislative update is to provide information on the four states that enacted charter school laws during the 1998 legislative session, as well as to provide information on legislative changes occurring in other states with charter school legislation. The report updates information in A National Study of Charter Schools (1998), which provides details on charter school legislation passed through the 1997 legislative session.

Cobb University of New Hampshire Gene V Glass Arizona State University [The editorial review and decisions on this article were the responsibility of Anthony G. Rud Jr. of the Editorial Board Abstract Among the criticisms of charter schools is their potential to further stratify schools along ethnic and class lines. This study addressed whether Arizona charter schools are more ethnically segregated than traditional public schools. In 1996-97, Arizona had nearly one in four of all charter schools in the United States. The analysis involved a series of comparisons between the ethnic compositions of adjacent charter and public schools in Arizona's most populated region and its rural towns. This methodology differed from the approach of many evaluations of charter schools and ethnic stratification in that it incorporated the use of geographic maps to compare schools' ethnic make-ups. The ethnic compositions of 55 urban and 57 rural charter schools were inspected relative to their traditional public school neighbors.
