The Thomas B. Fordham Foundation became a charter authorizer in 2005 with the desire to bring high-quality charter models to Ohio. This second annual Sponsorship Accountability Report offers a comprehensive account of the organization's sponsorship policies and practices, as well as individual profiles of all Fordham-sponsored schools. (At the end of 2006-07, Fordham authorized nine charter schools in three communities.) Included in the profiles are descriptions of each school's educational program, school philosophy, and overall academic performance.
