Information Literacy Blog ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Collins, Timothy Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Rural Education and Small Schools Charleston WV. Charter Schools: An Approach for Rural Education? ERIC Digest. Charter schools have emerged in the 1990s as a prominent and controversial school reform idea. This Digest describes characteristics of charter schools, outlines some tentative research findings, discusses advantages and shortcomings, and summarizes challenges rural communities might face in starting such a school. WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED ABOUT CHARTER SCHOOLS In some ways, charter schools are traditional and tap historic rural roots of public education. They give parents, students, and educators public school alternatives based on the idea that competition will bring educational innovations (Thomas, 1996). But there is potential for controversy, especially in poor rural communities with limited financial and educational resources to support additional schools. Since Minnesota passed the first charter school law in 1991, 32 other states and the District of Columbia have passed similar legislation (Hirsch, 1998). The Center for Education Reform (1998) estimated 1,129 charter schools existed nationwide in September 1998. Most schools were in the South and West. Half were in three states: Arizona, California, and Michigan. Almost another quarter were in four other states: Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, and Texas. While the number of charter schools has increased rapidly since 1991, these schools represented only about 0.5% of public school students in charter states during the 1996-1997 school year (RPP International, 1998). It is unclear how many were in rural areas.

Littleton Public Schools Regulation Policy Code    LBD-R Policy Name     Relations With Charter Schools Adoption             April 11, 1995 Revised               August 27, 1998 The following excerpt is taken from the Colorado Charter School Information Handbook , fifth edition, published by the Colorado Department of Education. Under Colorado law, a charter school is not a separate legal entity independent of the School District, but rather is a public school defined uniquely by a charter and partially autonomous while remaining within the School District. The approved charter application and accompanying agreements are the charter which serve as a contract between the charter school and the local Board of Education. The following procedures are intended to promote cooperation and collaboration between the District and the applicant, and to encourage the efficient processing of the application. Application Procedures A charter school applicant(s) shall meet with appropriate District administrators early in the process of developing a proposal. Such meetings may allow the applicant(s) an opportunity to discuss the charter school process, including whether the needs being expressed for a charter school can be met by existing or new programs within the District, clarifying questions regarding regulations and procedures, and the responsibilities associated with opening a charter school. In the charter process, appropriate District administrators may advise the applicant(s) about educational, financial, and other requirements. However, the preparation of the charter school application remains the responsibility of the applicant(s).
