Charter School Closure	6/10/04 6:49 PM
Author: Linda Ray

I believe that many charter schools fail due to the lack of experience of the school managers. Many charter schools had the dubious task of starting from the ground up which includes securing a building to conduct school. However, the conversion charter schools have a much better success rate because of the expertise of the building managers.
