Two Steps Forward, One Step Back: The Battle for California’s Charter Schools
Submitted by K. Lloyd Billingsley, Pamela Riley on 4.26.1999
In 1993 California passed a law authorizing charter schools, deregulated schools within the public system that gain freedom from burdensome education codes in return for meeting the goals of their founding "charter." Convinced that charter schools bring about revolutionary change, good for students, parents, and teachers alike, the state legislature expanded that law last year. But after two steps forward, California is poised to take a giant step back.
