Submitted by hcsao on Thu, 2006-08-24 14:10. Key Issues in Studying Charter Schools and Achievement
Various studies have been done on test scores at charter schools. The results have been mixed.
In this report from the Charter School Achievment Consinsus Panel, the question is not "How are charter school students performing against their peers in other public schools? But rather, "Are charter school students learning more or less than they would in another school?"
This is not an easy question to answer.
The researchers look at possible research methods and consider the implications for states, funders, and the press.

August 21, 2006Â
Dear Mr. Yee, Members of the Board,
Attached please find a copy of draft proposed rules for implementation of the new charter school law. The scope of these rules is limited to several important aspects of charter school operations: the application and approval process for new charter schools; the process for amending the detailed implementation plans of existing charter schools; the duties and responsibilities of the charter school administrative office; the evaluation system for ensuring the accountability of charter schools; the process for placing a charter school on probation; and the process for revoking the charter of a charter school. The new charter school law, Act 298, created significant changes in each of these statutory areas.Â
