Abstract | Charter schools remain politically controversial in Michigan. The controversy focuses on questions of choice and accountability. Advocates assert that parents should have choices--especially poor parents who otherwise lack good options. Critics argue that charter schools perform no better than regular public schools, or that they are insufficiently accountable to public authority. The Michigan legislature has failed to raise the cap, despite the policy suggestions of the Commission on Charter Schools. What do Michigan citizens think about charter schools? The latest survey conducted by the Education Policy Center at Michigan State University confirms that 72% of Michigan residents favor charter schools, although levels of support differ according to demographic factors, and there remain many questions regarding the efficiency, quality, and accountability of these schools. This report describes the charter school presence in Michigan, presents the results of the latest survey, and compares those results to a similar survey conducted in 1997-1998.
