Abstract: Statewide, Michigan's charter schools operate on significantly less funding than other public schools, but in 2006 state assessment results, charters exceeded the average scores of their host districts on 23 of 27 tests. This document profiles administrative and operational strategies that cash-strapped charters are employing to perform well for less. Innovative approaches to administration, the use of education service providers, compensation and benefits, transportation, special education services, high school instruction, and facilities are profiled.
