Forced Unionization of Charter Schools
Submitted by Lance T. Izumi, J.D. on 5.1.1999
One of the few encouraging developments in education over the last few years has been the increasing support for charter schools. Charter schools are autonomous public schools which are given freedom from restrictive regulations in exchange for meeting specific academic goals. California now has about 180 charter schools. President Clinton has praised California's charter schools, as has Gov. Gray Davis who calls charter schools "laboratories of education innovation." Charter school teachers and officials, though, are worried that their ability to innovate will be undercut by proposed legislation from Sacramento.
