Why we are betting on Washington State charters
It is nice to see alternatives to the public school system coming from within, changing the nature of the schools through the charter concept, which has turned out to be more than just a good idea:
"Washington’s charter law, while not perfect, is surely one of the best any state has had coming out of the gate with new schools. According to the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools’ survey of state charter laws, Washington’s comes in six out of forty-three states. This despite the law’s capping of schools at forty. Washington’s charters will operate in a policy environment where they have operational freedoms but are held accountable for student performance."
