Three more public charter schools, including an Internet-based elementary school, have been proposed for Rhode Island, despite a moratorium on opening new charters for another two years. Steve Nardelli of the Rhode Island League of Charter Schools said he hopes the proposals will force a conversation about relaxing the moratorium. Currently, 11 charter schools operate in the state. "We are very pleased there are people out there who continue to be innovative and propose opportunities to do things in education to provide choices for the 2,800 students who are now on (charter school) waiting lists, despite the moratorium," he said.
