Saying that they need more accurate charter school enrollment data, districts in Massachusetts are seeking the authority to require charter schools to tell them the names and addresses of students filling their rosters. Charter school proponents say that they already report enrollment information to the Massachusetts Department of Education on an annual basis, and districts are primarily interested in getting contact information to pressure families to stay within the district. "School districts across the state want to contact families to persuade them to return to the district, which is entirely inappropriate," said Marc Kenen, executive director of the Massachusetts Public Charter School Association. "The state should protect the privacy of families and ask the districts to refrain from contacting charter school families."
