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. The editor 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. ER -
