Officials in Arlington, Texas, the state's seventh largest city, are considering a charter school district. "It's an idea that we're going to follow up with our new superintendent when he starts February 1st," said Jim Ash, president of the Arlington Independent School District Board of Trustees. "Our initial conversation centered around an idea that might be beneficial to the Arlington Independent School District, as we help our students. What kind of restrictions, what kind of burdens do we work under that we might eliminate?" said Ash. "I would support anything that would improve the lives of our students in this school district and their academic achievement," said Carla Crow, president of the local PTA association.
