-
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's history and development up to the present time, and provides a short description of their varying structures, operations, student populations. Some of the arguments for and against charter schools are listed. A basic step-by-step procedure is presented allowing one to design and start a charter school in one's community. The brochure also lists organizational and Web site sources, and references for additional information. (Contains 14 references.) (RT)
