Charter schools are publicly funded entities that enjoy freedom
from many of the regulations under which traditional public schools
operate. There are, however, state and local variations in charter
school legislation and implementation. The Charter School Landscape
is the first book to analyze and compare charter school politics
and policies across a broad range of jurisdictions. The first
charter school opened in Minnesota in 1992. Within nine years,
there were more than 2,000 charter schools operating in thirty-four
states, Washington, D.C., and Alberta, Canada. Public discourse on
the charter school reform is often passionate and politically
motivated. Sandra Vergari has assembled a group of experts to
present a more reflective and scholarly discussion of the reform,
its performance to date, and its implications for public policy.
Each chapter focuses on a single state or province, and
systematically addresses such issues as charter school laws, the
politics of policy implementation, charter school accountability,
controversies and trends, and prospects for the future. In
addition, the contributors emphasize significant issues specific to
each state that offer lessons for analysts and policymakers
everywhere. As a whole, The Charter School Landscape suggests that
charter schools are having a significant impact on the institution
of public education and how we think about the concept of the "real
public school.”
