| Abstract | One issue in school restructuring has been deciding exactly how to make schools more autonomous and accountable. Charter schools, a recent concept, offer a viable means of integrating various reform ideas in order to create highly autonomous and accountable learning environments. This publication defines charter schools; highlights the appeal of such schools; offers nine elements of "stronger" legislation; and classifies existing laws into two broad categories--those granting more autonomy and those granting less autonomy--as a way to distinguish those laws that appear to hold the most promise of success. Six states have passed legislation granting more autonomy to charter schools--Arizona, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, California, and Colorado. Those granting less autonomy are Hawaii, Georgia, Kansas, New Mexico, and Wisconsin. Each state's legislation is briefly described. The passage of stronger charter school legislation (e.g., legal and fiscal autonomy, super waivers, and school-level negotiation/bargaining provisions) is a difficult process. It is important to clarify key concepts and technology early in the process. Two tables that compare the 10 states' charter school laws are included. (LMI) |
