Seventeen public charter schools were honored last week by the California Charter Schools Association for their adherence to high academic, fiscal, ethical and governance standards. The schools were added to a list, now up to 73, of "certified charter schools." Gary Larson, a spokesman for the association, said the certification process is similar to that which most California schools undergo when they are accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, but "a little more rigorous." Caprice Young, president and chief executive of the association, said the certified public charter schools "are paving the way for continued success and accountability in California’s charter school movement.”
