This study explores the constitutionality of religion-based charter schools. The method of analysis used hypothetical charter schools to answer legal questions. The answers are grounded in law using the latest precedent. The background material before examining charters sets forth both the legal and policy contexts of religious charters schools. The legal context includes a detailed analysis of the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution focusing on the most recent Supreme Court cases on that topic. The policy analysis examines the normative and structural dimensions of charter schools, which are then compared with voucher programs. The historical, political and educational contexts of charter programs are also examined. Three hypothetical situations examine a total of eighteen legal questions: Can coreligionists form a charter school? Can morality-based general propositions of good be taught in a charter school? Can a charter school teach values espoused by coreligionists? Can a charter school teach a course in the relationship between religion and morality? Can a charter school have religious criteria for staff? Can a charter school limit a teacher's right to express different worldviews? Can a charter school offer optional prayer? Can a charter school form for the purpose of allowing students' ease of access to religious education? Can a charter school form to provide students, who would otherwise attend parochial schools, with a free, secular public education? Can clergy sit on the board of a charter school? Can a charter school share facilities with a parochial school? Can a religious organization operate a charter school? Can a charter school have religious criteria for admission? To what extent can a religion class be taught in a charter school? Can a charter school require religious instruction? Can a charter school require religious exercises or worship? Can a charter school affiliate with a denomination? Can states exclude religious organizations from operating charter schools? Each question is analyzed from a legal perspective. The study concludes that charter statutes present an opportunity for parents and communities to form charter schools that will accommodate their beliefs; however, the constitution does not allow them to form schools that endorse their beliefs.

Full textDespite rapid expansion of charter schools since the first enabling legislation was passed in 1991 there remains little understanding of the relationship between charter school law components and their relation to the percent charter school enrollment. This study focuses on the twenty charter school law components identified by the National Alliance of Public Carter Schools as being necessary for a strong charter school law and their correlation to charter school enrollment. Results suggest that, of the twenty components, Multiple Authorizers and Equitable Access to Capital Funding are most strongly correlated with an increase in the percentage of charter school enrollment. An additional five components, Equitable Operational Funding, Access to Retirement Systems, Adequate Authorizer Funding, Automatic Exemptions from State and District Rules and Regulations and Multi-school Charter Contracts Allowed, had a moderate correlation to the percentage of charter school enrollment. Additionally, one component, Authorizer and Program Accountability, shows a negative correlation to the percent of charter school enrollment. These findings suggest that if policymakers desire to increase the percentage of charter school enrollment they should carefully consider inclusion of these components in state law.

Full textUppsatsen syfte är att söka klargöra hur stor betydelse charterbolagens varumärken har för konsumenten vid valet av charterbolag. Jag har använt mig av teorier rörande varumärkets betydelse ur ett konsumentperspektiv, konsumentbeteende samt marknadskommunikation som sedan applicerats på empirin. Empirin består av sju kvalitativa intervjuer varav tre varit personliga intervjuer och de resterande fyra har varit telefonintervjuer. Slutsatsen är att varumärket inte är av överordnad betydelse för mina respondenter vid valet av charterbolag. Respondenternas varumärkeskännedom om de största aktörerna är, med vissa undantag, god. Trots detta så bidrar inte varumärkeskännedom i detta fall till ökad benägenhet hos respondenterna att välja ett välkänt bolag framför ett annat mindre känt bolag. Respondenternas lojalitet inför de olika charterbolagen är dessutom låg och inte heller word-of-mouth har den inverkan på mina respondenter som teorin föreslår. Nyckelord: Charter, varumärke, konsument, image, konsumentbeteende, lojalitet och word-of-mouth.

Full textCharter schools frequently receive public as well as federal attention, and there is a growing body of research becoming available examining charter schools. With all this research there is still a need for further studies which deal specifically with antecedents of charter school success. This study examined factors contributing toward the success of charter schools in the state of New York. It measured the success of a charter school with respect to student achievement levels which were measured via state mandated standardized English / Language Arts (ELA) test score averages provided on the Department of Education’s website for the state of New York (https://reportcards.nysed.gov/). An examination was made regarding the extent and manner in which student achievement levels vary with respect to the following factors: (a) teacher credentialing, (b) teacher experience, (c) teacher turnover, (d) class size, (e) student demographics, and (f) grade level. Differences in student achievement levels per these factors were also examined with respect to the following charter school management entities: (a) For-Profit Education Management Organizations (EMOs), (b) Non-Profit Charter Management Organizations (CMOs), and (c) independently managed Community Grown Organizations (CGOs). A clearer understanding of what leads to the success/failure of a school will be useful in, (a) sustaining success of currently successful schools, (b) providing data for failing schools to take into consideration, (c) informing charter authorizing agencies, as well as (d) aiding in replication of an existing successful school model. This study found that while there was no significant correlation between any of the predictor variables on ELA test scores during the 2011-2012 school year, Charter Management Organization did have a statistically significant effect on ELA test scores, with schools that are Community Grown Organizations (CGOs) yielding higher results than schools that contracted with Non-Profit Charter Management Organizations (CMOs) and For-Profit Education Management Organizations (EMOs). While currently the trend in expectation is that charter schools most likely to succeed, and thus be replicated, are the schools that contract with For-Profit Management Agencies (EMOs) and Non-Profit Management Agencies (CMOs), this study has shown that it is actually the Community Grown Organizations (CGOs) that have yielded higher ELA standardized test scores during the 2011-2012 school year, thus making them considered as more successful entities than the EMOs and CMOs. The results suggest that further efforts into replicating successful CGO school models should be seriously considered by both the individual schools and the Charter Authorizing Agencies.

Kimathi, Patricia Renee'. "African American parents| Choice and charter schools." Thesis, Fielding Graduate University, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3588218.
Full textThis mixed method research investigated the question: What elements do African American charter school parents in a Southern California community identify as important in their children's charter schools? Twenty-three African American families who had enrolled their children in charter schools in a Southern California community responded to a survey. Five respondents were randomly selected for semi-structured interviews.
The history of African American parents and children in this country has been one of limited access and choice. Early African American educators proposed education as the means by which African Americans could improve their lives and pursue the American dream (Dubois, 1989; Washington, 1901; Woodson, 1933). After centuries of being in traditional public schools the majority of African American children are not being successfully educated (Johnson, 2002; Haycock, 2009). As a result of widespread dissatisfaction with public schools, an increasing number of African American parents are choosing charter schools as an alternative to traditional public schools (Zimmer et al., 2003, 2009).
The African American families in this study shared the following six elements that influenced their decision to enroll their children in charter schools: academic achievement/ curriculum, parental engagement, quality of teaching, class/school size, safety/ security, and extra activities. Implications from this research and future research are included.

The advent of charter schools has been one of the biggest reform initiatives in the history of schooling in the US: charters have significantly altered the landscape of many of our country’s largest public-school systems (Bracey, 2002; Hassel, 2009; Hill, 2006). Recent studies have examined a number of aspects of charter school leadership; however, there has been little research on charter school chief executive officers (CEO). The CEO is a relatively new role that oversees the entire charter school or network and is almost always independent of the principal. This mixed-methods study examined the organizational dynamics of Philadelphia Charter School CEOs by using a survey, personal interviews, and quantitative data analysis to obtain information regarding all CEOs of Philadelphia. Interviews were focused on the CEO job role and day-to-day duties, CEO successes and struggles, and what prior experiences prepared CEOs for this role. The quantitative findings show two correlations: suggesting that male CEOs and CEOs of stand-alone schools are in charge of schools with higher school performance. Five common themes emerged across CEOs during interviews: loneliness, overconfidence, under preparedness, non-traditional career path, and having a prior work experience in the field of education was crucial to success. Lastly, it was discovered that certifications and prior education experience were not commonplace for current CEOs, 19 of the 64 CEOs in this study did not have prior education experience.

Full textFew studies have examined the intersection of charter school and special education policies. The concerns around the serving of special education students in charter schools must be carefully studied, especially as charter schools continue to grow in numbers and continue to serve a greater percentage of public school students. New policies must not only address equity in access for special education students in charter schools but must also study how charter schools can be leveraged to generate innovative and promising practices in the area of special education.
This study examines a recent policy change in the Los Angeles Unified School District that provides great autonomy and increased accountability for charter schools in their provision of special education services. This policy change promotes key tenets of charter schools: (a) autonomy and decentralization, (b) choice and competition, and (c) performance-based accountability with the aim of increasing access for students with special needs and increasing the capacity of charter schools to serve them. The research design utilizes a mixed method approach to collect qualitative and quantitative data to evaluate the goals of this major policy change within this particular school district.

Thesis, Boston College, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/2345/3808.
Full textThis study applied the economic theory of marketplace competition as a framework to explore how district superintendents perceive the existence of charter schools by examining their perceptions about whether or not charter schools are stimulating competition for consumers in public school districts. As its underlying foundation, the study used the driving forces of competition and innovation as expressed in the legislative intent of the 1993 Massachusetts law that designed created charter schools to provide an alternative to district schools by promoting innovation. This mixed methods sequential explanatory designed study has yielded findings about superintendents' perceptions of charter schools within the context of a competitive educational marketplace. Not only do superintendents sense urgency to act within a competitive charter school market, but other schooling options for students similarly add competitive pressure. Superintendents perceive that the impact on their district budget is constraining, and that the funding formula does not take into consideration school systems' economies of scale. Most superintendents perceive the choice market as limited or a "quasi-market" unlike in a pure market-based economy where cost is a driving factor. This study found that there is considerable sentiment among superintendents that charter schools separate communities and decrease democratic principles of education by separating society into smaller homogeneous groups, thereby endangering the growth of a multicultural society. And lastly, all superintendents who were interviewed expressed concern that the driving force of this movement - the charter school legislation - has not been implemented as intended
