Abstract: This study from RAND researchers examines which charter schools struggle most with accessing adequate resources and facilities. Fiscal challenges were most likely to be experienced by start-up charter schools rather than district school conversions. Start-up charter schools were less likely to participate fully in categorical funding programs and had less access to facilities support. Start-up charter schools were more likely to rely on private funders for support than conversions or regular district schools. The researchers recommend that policymakers be more conscious of how funding models affect start-up charter schools.
