Witte in cooperation with faculty members and graduate students from the UW Department of Political Science , the School of Educational Administration , and the LaFollette School of Public Affairs On Charter School Performance A recent article (August 17, 2004) in the New York Times has created some stir over the academic performance of charter school students. In our estimation, the reporter must not have fully understood the AFT report on which she based her article. We believe that the article misrepresents both charter schools and the AFT's report. Further, the editorial board of the New York Times was incautious and reckless when interpreting the report's findings on the August 18th editorial page. The AFT's report does not show many statistically significant findings, nor does the report's text claim to. Instead, when one considers two major educational factors, race of students and their families' income, the AFT's simple tables report that public charter school students do not achieve differently than similar traditional public school students.

NCREL's Policy Briefs Charter Schools: A New Breed of Public Schools Report 2, 1993 Pathways home page Contents Previous section Next section Wisconsin Legislation Wisconsin just passed legislation on Charter Schools in July 1993, as the Governor had urged in his January 1993 address. This legislation authorizes a school board, on its own initiative or by a petition meeting certain conditions, to request approval from the state superintendent to establish one or more Charter Schools in the school district. A Charter School would be exempt from all laws governing public schools except the requirement to participate in the state's pupil assessment program and to be included in the school district's annual school performance report. The Charter Schools are allowed to be established in no more than ten school districts. The students enrolled in a Charter School also would be included in a school district's membership for state aid purposes. Requirements If a Charter School replaces a public school in whole or in part, the school must give preferences to any pupil residing within the attendance area of the former school. Charter Schools also must be nonsectarian in their programs, admissions policies, employment practices, and other operations. Charter Schools may not charge tuition, discriminate in admission, or deny participation in any program or activity on the basis of a person's sex, race, religion, national origin, ancestry, pregnancy, marital or parental status, sexual orientation or physical, mental, emotional, or learning disability.

25. Dunbar Jr. - Alternative Schooling For African American Youth University of wisconsinMilwaukee. So-called alternative schools exist in the shadows of every large urban community. They are rarely mentioned in the http://www.aaanet.org/cae/aeq/br/dunbar.htm

Alternative Schooling for African American Youth: Does Anyone Know We're Here? Christopher Dunbar Jr. New York: Peter Lang Publishing, 2001. 152 pp. D IANE S. P OLLARD University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee So-called alternative schools exist in the shadows of every large urban community. They are rarely mentioned in the almost constant discussions and debates about public education, and they often seem to be below the radar screen of the general public. Indeed, unless one works in an alternative school or has a child attending one, most people probably do not even know that such institutions exist. Touted by some as places designed to meet the needs of children who have difficulty adjusting to regular schools, Dunbar vividly shows us that they are often dumping grounds for those difficult kids, usually African American males or other males of color, with whom no one wants to work. Through a series of observations, vignettes, and interviews, Dunbar takes readers inside an urban alternative middle school. As is typical of alternative schools, this one is small, with six classrooms and only 28 students. Shortly after it opened, Dunbar spent 18 months in the school as an observer. In this little book, he acquaints readers with the school, its students, and its staff. Dunbar focuses particularly on African American young males, described as the group "most at risk of both social and academic failure" (p. 22), arguing that this population of students is increasingly being consigned to alternative schools because they have "found it increasingly difficult to successfully matriculate through traditional public school" (p.22). Although Dunbar describes only one alternative school, he occasionally generalizes and discusses the problems and issues faced by young African American males in American society.

123 schools fall short of progress standards State's list prompts worries on meeting tough criteria of 'No Child Left Behind' By Jamaal Abdul-Alim Posted: Sept. 17, 2004 The number of Wisconsin schools and districts that failed to make enough progress to satisfy federal law rose, according to statistics released Friday, prompting renewed concern over whether schools can meet the increasingly tough standards of the "No Child Left Behind" era. According to state Department of Public Instruction figures, 123 schools ere on the list of schools that failed to make "adequate yearly progress" - a 12.7% increase over last year. The vast majority of them fell short of the mark in reading. The next biggest problem area was math. Some educators said the lack of progress in reading was misleading, though, because many students who fell behind are in special education programs and more likely have slower progress. The number of Wisconsin school districts that missed adequate yearly progress also grew - from 26 to 31 - or about 19%.

Districts do not comply with requirements to allocate funds to specific at-risk programs. Indicators of at-risk student achievement have been mixed. Key Facts and Findings The Children At Risk program provides $3.5 million to eligible school districts annually. In the 2003-04 school year, 21 participating school districts identified 29,669 at-risk students. School districts offer a variety of programs and services to at-risk students. The Legislature may wish to consider whether the program should be maintained, modified, or eliminated. The Children At Risk program, which is administered by the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), is intended to reduce the number of students in grades 5 through 12 who are at risk of not graduating from high school. It was created in the 1985-87 Biennial Budget Act and, in response to recommendations from the Joint Legislative Council Special Committee on Children at Risk, was last modified in 1999 Wisconsin Act 123.

"T he ninth-grade student was a show stopper. Half of her head was shaved, and the other half was freaked out in a bold explosion of hair, bells, and ribbons. She had three gold studs in her nose and was wearing at least a dozen earrings that jingled like wind chimes when she moved. In her own distinctive way she was a beautiful young girl. I asked her why she had left her former high school to travel across town to a small alternative program. She thought for amoment then explained, 'At my other school everyone treated me like a geek; everybody thought I was kind of weird. Over here...it's like, I just disappeared into this really happy family..." Hope at Last for At-Risk Youth S tudents attending the nation's estimated 15,000 alternative schools come in all sorts of colorful packages. More than a few adopt hairstyles, wardrobes, street language, and attitudes that would make them stand out—or be kicked out—of mainstream classrooms. But what's most remarkable about this diverse student body isn't outward appearances. It's that these students, many of whom face obstacles ranging from poverty to teen pregnancy to long-term academic failure to chronic delinquency, are making an appearance in school at all. A growing body of research and years of anecdotal evidence show that students who have been labeled failures, troublemakers, or dropouts in traditional schools can thrive in smaller, more individualized settings. That may sound like plain common sense to any teacher who has worked to pull a struggling student back from the brink. It's especially timely news, however, as communities across the country wrestle with the staggering social and economic costs associated with undereducated youth. After years of operating on the margins of public education, alternative schools are getting a serious look from many different interest groups: proponents of school reform, corrections workers overwhelmed by juvenile caseloads, and employers concerned about finding enough educated young people to fill tomorrow's workplaces.

A lawsuit filed by the state teacher's union in Wisconsin is being eyed as a potential new wrinkle that could derail such schools before they even get up and running. Appleton School District recently opened the Wisconsin Connections Academy, an online charter school with a student body of about 300 kids from nearly 100 districts. Under current state open enrollment rules, the Appleton School District gets about $5,000 in state aid for each of these students, $3,000 or so of which goes to Wisconsin Connections Academy and Connections Academy (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sylvan Ventures), the provider of curriculum and services to the non-profit school. The rest of the monies pay for the union principal and six union teachers at the school. In theory, you'd think that WEAC would be glad that the group is hiring union workers, and also uses other 'bricks and mortar' type products, such as textbooks.
