19 New Charter Schools Proposed in Arkansas

http://www.katv.com/news/stories/0707/437568.html

Letters of intent for 19 new open-enrollment charter schools have been sent to the Arkansas Department of Education. At least seven of the proposed schools are repeat proposals from last year, when a record 20 were initially proposed. The state legislature recently retained a cap of 24 open-enrollment charter schools. Caroline Proctor of the Arkansas Charter School Resource Center said she must therefore be more selective in selecting schools. "We are trying to look for people who have not just the heart but the capacity to run a charter school," Proctor said.
