The Mayor of Indianapolis, the nation's only mayor that can authorize charter schools, releases a report each year tracking the achievement of the schools he sponsors. This latest annual charter school accountability report shows that charter schools in the city are generally well-managed and that 14 of the 16 schools in operation made significant gains on state testing. The mayor's accountability report has become a national model for other authorizers and, this year, the U.S. Department of Education highlighted his initiative.
