Abstract: With more than a million children nationally expected to enroll in charter schools this year, this new report urges states to expand and support schools that have proven to be successful. The Alliance’s Task Force on Charter School Quality and Accountability details a series of key recommendations designed to create high-quality charter schools that meet growing demand while upholding the model of accountability and results. Recommendations to policymakers include: let evidence drive operations; build high-quality teacher force and charter leadership; and focus charter legislation on quality. The report establishes seven key principles for quality chartering and the Alliance is encouraging all charter school supporters to sign on to support them at http://www.publiccharters.org/taskforcereport.asp.
