Book Synopsis Charter School Funding in New York Perspectives on Parity with Traditional Public Schools by : Robin Jacobowitz
Download or read book Charter School Funding in New York Perspectives on Parity with Traditional Public Schools written by Robin Jacobowitz and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York State Charter Schools Act, passed in 1998, identifies a bundle of resources available to charter schools from a variety of local, state, and federal sources. The Act intends for these resources to provide adequate funding and support for the operation of charter schools. Specific resources include a per pupil payment for general operating support, additional state funding for special education, federal dollars driven by student population (e.g. No Child Left Behind Title I funding), as well as in-kind services from the school district in which the charter school resides. This bundle of local, state, and federal resources roughly mirrors the funding and support provided to traditional public schools. Yet since the passage of the Act, and since New York State?s first five charter schools opened their doors in the fall of 1999, charter school advocates and operators have argued that this funding is insufficient. Specifically, they have maintained that the resources that charter schools receive are less than the resources available to other public schools in the same school district-- at times asserting that this discrepancy is as large as 30%. They also claim that lack of parity is a disincentive to future charter school operators. While charter school operators argue the lack of parity in resources, school districts argue that charter schools already receive sufficient funding. This paper explores whether or not funding disparities exist and the magnitude of any such disparities. It begins with a listing of the public resources available to charter schools in New York State, then proceeds with several comparative analyses for charter and traditional public schools in New York City. This paper also finds that New York City charter schools have fewer public resources than traditional public schools. This funding disparity exists at all educational levels--elementary, middle, and high school--and for students in both general and special education. By identhese discrepancies, this paper provides legislators and policy makers with evidence and information to correct this disparity and place charter schools on equal financial footing with all other public schools in New York State. Contains 7 figures, and 4 appendices. A list of other reports and papers on Charter Schools research done by the institute is also provided.

Download or read book School’s Choice written by Wagma Mommandi and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Access issues are pivotal to almost all charter school tensions and debates. How well are these schools performing? Are they segregating and stratifying? Are they public and democratic? Are they fairly funded? Can apparent successes be scaled up? Answers to all these core questions hinge on how access to charter schools is shaped. This book describes the incentives and pressures on charter schools to restrict access and examines how charters navigate those pressures, explaining access-restricting practices in relation to the ecosystem within which charter schools are created. It also explains how charters have sometimes responded by resisting the pressures and sometimes by surrendering to them. The text presents analyses of 13 different types of practices around access, each of which shapes the school’s enrollment. The authors conclude by offering recommendations for how states and authorizers can address access-related inequities that arise in the charter sector. School’s Choice provides timely information on critical academic and policy issues that will come into play as charter school policy continues to evolve. Book Features: Examines how charter schools control who gains and retains access.Explores policies and practices that undermine equitable admission and encourage opportunity hoarding.Offers a set of policy recommendations at the state and federal level to address access-related issues.
Book Synopsis Charter School Funding by : Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, Washington, DC.
Download or read book Charter School Funding written by Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, Washington, DC. and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the controversies swirling around the nation's charter schools, none is more hotly contested than the debate over funding. Charter opponents charge that these autonomous public schools are draining scarce resources from public school districts. Proponents, by contrast, complain that charter schools do not get their fair share of public education dollars. Despite all the controversy around this issue, however, there has been little research about how much public revenue actually goes to charter schools. To remedy that lack of information, this study examines charter school funding in 16 states and the District of Columbia, jurisdictions that collectively enroll 84 percent of the nation's charter school students, according to the Center for Education Reform (CER). Within each of those states, the study also investigates charter school funding in one to three large districts, 27 districts in all. The four major findings of this study are: (1) Charter schools overall are significantly underfunded relative to district schools; (2) Funding discrepancies are even wider in most big urban school districts; (3) The chief culprit is charter schools' lack of access to local and capital funding; and (4) Quality data are often unavailable. Appended are: (1) Methodology; (2) Sources and Informants; and (3) Research Team. (Contains 14 tables and 323 endnotes.) [This report was produced by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute; Progress Analytics Institute; and Public Impact. Financial assistance for this report was also provided by the Walton Family Foundation.].

Book Synopsis Charter School City by : Douglas N. Harris
Download or read book Charter School City written by Douglas N. Harris and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the tragedy and destruction that came with Hurricane Katrina in 2005, public schools in New Orleans became part of an almost unthinkable experiment—eliminating the traditional public education system and completely replacing it with charter schools and school choice. Fifteen years later, the results have been remarkable, and the complex lessons learned should alter the way we think about American education. New Orleans became the first US city ever to adopt a school system based on the principles of markets and economics. When the state took over all of the city’s public schools, it turned them over to non-profit charter school managers accountable under performance-based contracts. Students were no longer obligated to attend a specific school based upon their address, allowing families to act like consumers and choose schools in any neighborhood. The teacher union contract, tenure, and certification rules were eliminated, giving schools autonomy and control to hire and fire as they pleased. In Charter School City, Douglas N. Harris provides an inside look at how and why these reform decisions were made and offers many surprising findings from one of the most extensive and rigorous evaluations of a district school reform ever conducted. Through close examination of the results, Harris finds that this unprecedented experiment was a noteworthy success on almost every measurable student outcome. But, as Harris shows, New Orleans was uniquely situated for these reforms to work well and that this market-based reform still required some specific and active roles for government. Letting free markets rule on their own without government involvement will not generate the kinds of changes their advocates suggest. Combining the evidence from New Orleans with that from other cities, Harris draws out the broader lessons of this unprecedented reform effort. At a time when charter school debates are more based on ideology than data, this book is a powerful, evidence-based, and in-depth look at how we can rethink the roles for governments, markets, and nonprofit organizations in education to ensure that America’s schools fulfill their potential for all students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expert contributors to this volume tell how state laws and policies have stacked the deck against charter schools by limiting the number of charter schools allowed in a state, forbidding for-profit firms from holding charters, forcing them to pay rent out of operating funds, and other ways. They explain how these policies can be amended to level the playing field and give charter schools—and the children they serve—a fairer chance to succeed.

Book Synopsis The Charter School Challenge by : Bryan C. Hassel
Download or read book The Charter School Challenge written by Bryan C. Hassel and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charter schools have become a national phenomenon, garnering praise from both Democrats and Republicans. Because they appear to sidestep both political stalemate and the practical difficulty of implementing widespread change--the traditional barriers to improvement in American public education--charter schools hold great promise as an educational reform. Now, with charter laws on the books in more than thirty states, Bryan Hassel investigates whether charter schools have been able to avoid the pitfalls that have tripped up so many other "revolutionary" school reforms. After a broad overview of how charter laws have been adopted nationwide, this book focuses in depth on charter schools in Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, and Michigan. Hassel reviews the four states' implementation of charter laws and whether their programs are providing sufficient autonomy, resources, and potential to influence the broader education system--all essential components for charter schools' success. He concludes that if states want to give charter schools a full test, they should empower nonlocal entities to approve charter schools, establish the schools as distinct local entities, allow full per-pupil funding to go with students to the charter schools, and impose minimal constraints on the source and number of charter schools. The schools themselves will need to improve their infrastructure, and charter-granting agencies will have to rebuild the systems for monitoring schools' academic results and compliance with regulations. These policies are vital if charter schools are to realize their potential as a significant educational reform.

Book Synopsis Where Charter School Policy Fails by : Amy Stuart Wells
Download or read book Where Charter School Policy Fails written by Amy Stuart Wells and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative volume, Amy Stuart Wells and her co-authors provide evidence that the laissez-faire policies of charter school reform often exacerbate existing inequalities in our schools. Providing the most comprehensive, critical review of charter schools to date, this timely volume is based on the authors’ in-depth study of 10 urban, suburban, and rural school districts and 17 diverse charter schools in California, plus their analysis of other charter school studies from around the country. Focusing on two central issues—accountability and equity—they explore how charter school policies affect the lives of children, educators, and parents in diverse social, economic, and political contexts. The authors conclude that although the quality and experiences of charter schools is highly varied across different contexts, the laws that allow these schools to exist fail to assure meaningful accountability. Meanwhile, these policies increase inequality and stratification by pushing the educational system toward privatization in terms of finance and admissions while failing to target much-needed resources toward low-income communities. This dynamic book will help educators and policymakers develop a future policy agenda for charter school reform that will be more responsive to the needs of all children. “The authors, for the first time, make sense of the diverse and diffuse charter school ‘movement.’ They argue that the lack of support, the absence of equity provisions in state laws, and the burnout of many charter school personnel have led to the beginning of the end of this—yet another—school reform. This book provides important lessons for all who care about public education.” —Jean Anyon, Graduate Center, City University of New York
