Last week, Massachusetts lawmakers held a wide ranging hearing on charter schools, with some calling for a study on how charter schools are funded, whether there should be caps on student enrollment, and what innovations the schools should be credited with. Rep. Douglas Petersen, D-Marblehead, a member of the Education Committee, said he supports an in-depth study of charter schools. "I don't think we've had a thorough study of what impact charter schools are having on municipal finances, whether or not there are substantial differences in what charter school kids receive versus public school kids," he said. Sixty-one charter schools are currently operating in the state.
