This report examines North Carolina's charter school program and urges the state to retain the current cap of 100 charter schools until it has five years of data that can clearly prove the worth of what the authors call the state's "charter school experiment." The analysis focuses on the issues of academic performance, racial diversity, and financial management and governance. In addition to retaining the cap, the authors recommend that the state's Board of Education not grant any more charters for schools that target a narrow ethnic or racial population.
