Life of New Hampshire's First Charter School Extended Through State Aid

http://www.concordmonitor.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080327/FRONTPAGE/803270383

New Hampshire's first charter school, Franklin Career Academy, will be able to stay open until the end of the school year, thanks to an additional $53,200 more in state money. The initiative was worked out through Governor John Lynch and will come from funds previously set aside for three charter schools, including Franklin, whose shaky financial situations put them in danger of closing. Instead of providing funds incrementally, state officials will distribute the remaining funds to the three schools in one lump sum. "The Department of Education worked . . . to release the remaining money early because no one wants to see children have to change schools before the end of the school year," said Lynch spokesman Colin Manning.
