Six New Charter Schools Proposed for Chicago

http://www.chicagobusiness.com/cgi-bin/news.pl?id=26664&seenIt=1

Chicago Public Schools CEO Arne Duncan has proposed six new charter schools that would open over the next two years. The charters join 13 other proposed new public schools. Duncan plans to recommend the proposed schools to the Chicago Board of Education for a vote next week, following public hearings. The creation of new schools is part of Mayor Richard Daley's Renaissance 2010 program, which aims to create 100 new schools by 2010.
