Charter schools in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Ohio, Texas and Washington, D.C. have been chosen from more than 90 applicants as finalists for significant expansion grants. The Charter School Growth Fund, a $100 million fund supported by the Walton Family Foundation, the Doris and Donald Fisher Foundation and the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, seeks to increase the capacity of proven educational entrepreneurs to develop and grow networks of high quality charter schools. "It's a terrifically big deal," said Nelson Smith, president of the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools. "With 4,000 charter schools around the country, we really need to harvest the best and make it possible for them to flourish and serve more kids."
