| Abstract | Charter schools are public schools that have been provided significant release from the rules and regulations that govern traditional public schools and that are held accountable by a chartering authority. The ultimate hope of charter school advocates is that charter schools will be able to cut through red tape, offer innovative educational programs, provide new options to families, and promote healthy competition for traditional public schools (Finn, et al., 1996). Opponents argue that charter schools are no more effective than traditional public schools, that they may exacerbate racial segregation, that they create fiscal strains for school districts, and that too many of them are unreliable operations (Wells et al., 1998). The critics have grown louder over time, concerned by some scandals (such as the abrupt closure of a large network of charter schools in California, just before the beginning of the 2004-05 school year) and by the steadily increasing proportion of public education resources consumed by the growing charter sector. The stakes have also been raised by the federal No Child Left Behind Act, which includes conversion to charter status among the sanctions that states may apply to chronically failing public schools. This paper highlights findings from a number of RAND papers and reports about California's charter schools. (Contains 13 footnotes.) (ERIC). |
