This report provides closure statistics for each state through 2002. Between 1991 and 2002, nearly seven percent of all charters that ever opened were closed due to some sort of deficiency or disagreement with their authorizers (including financial inequities, poor academic records, facilities challenges, mismanagement, and district downsizing). The causes and situations of 154 of these schools are documented in the report. An additional 77 charter schools were consolidated back into their school districts and are not counted as closures. Sixty of these are documented in this report. (Note: In late spring 2004, CER produced a more recent report addressing closures through January 2004. This print document, "Charter Schools Today: Changing the Face of American Education; Statistics, Stories and Insights," is available for a $49.95 fee by calling (202) 822-9000 or emailing cer@edreform.com.)
