Federal Funding?	6/7/04 1:53 PM
Author: Judy Wiederhorn

A related policy issue is the extent of federal funding. Is anyone familiar with what percent of NCLB or other federal funds are actually received by charter schools? Has anyone heard of a recent study that found charter schools have been "shortchanged" in terms of federal funding? Any information relating to your charter school or charter schools in general would be helpful.
