Focus Area:  Legal Issues & Policy

Abstract:  The authors of this brief present a persuasive case of why more government organizations should actively embrace the opportunities of charter school authorizing. They suggest that chartering can further a state or local agency's educational, political, and financial goals. The paper points to research and experience that state and local leaders can serve needs through chartering that are not being fulfilled through traditional public schools.
