Issue Report: Charter schools

Support

Deborah Bach. “School Board digs in against charter schools”. Seattle PI. December 17, 2003 – “The Seattle School Board intends to make a pre-emptive strike against charter school legislation that came close to passing last session, despite being turned down by voters twice in the past. […] At its Jan. 7 meeting, the board is expected to adopt a resolution opposing charter schools. […] The proposed resolution cites a study last year by the American Federation of Teachers that found that charter schools spend a greater percentage of their resources on administration, less on infrastructure and provide fewer services than the districts they reside in.”
