Abstract	Charter school authorizers are getting "choosier" about which applications for schools they will accept and are basing decisions not to renew charters more on student-achievement issues than previously recognized, an analysis by a pro-charter organization finds. At the same time, the report says, almost half of authorizers, especially smaller ones, practice "limited oversight" of their schools. Contrary to earlier findings, the report says, authorizers are basing decisions not to renew charters more often on student achievement than on such other factors as governance or finances. Of 34 cases cited in which charters were not renewed since the authorizers began granting charters, decisions in 75 percent were based on low achievement, the survey found. A second report, which examines different types of charter schools, is an extended version of a preliminary report issued in the fall of 2005. The final report includes new analysis of student-achievement differences among various school types. (ERIC).
