Abstract | This report synthesizes the year 2 findings of a 3-year qualitative study of autonomy, accountability, finance, and supports in New York City charter schools. In 2000-2001, the study sample included 10 schools (8 charter and 2 alternative schools considering charter status). Section 1 reviews the literature on supports provided to traditional public schools, analyzes the school district's role, reviews the literature on intermediary organizations, and examines studies on the relationship between charter schools and the private nonprofit and for-profit organizations partnering with them. Section 2 describes the research methodology. Section 3 maps the sources of support being built and used by charter schools in New York City and notes implications of these new support arrangements. Overall, the 10 study schools used a range of voluntary overlapping supports that added to the material and human resources available from their public funding. Policy recommendations include increasing funding for charter schools to the level received by other public schools, encouraging charter schools to draw on traditional public schools' and districts' services and expertise, and helping charter school educators and representatives from the private sector to work out issues of governance and authority.
