| Abstract | At the request of Ohio's top government and education leaders, the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, National Association of Charter School Authorizers, and National Alliance for Public Charter Schools have issued a report seeking to strengthen the state's charter school program. Among its 17 recommendations are calls for closing low-performing charter schools and holding sponsors more accountable for oversight of the growing charter movement while also helping more high-performance schools to open and succeed in Ohio. In return for sharply stepped-up accountability, restrictions on the formation of high-quality charters should be removed, and charter schools should receive more equitable funding. This report bases its findings on research and analysis of Ohio school performance data; a review of best practices in other states; input from experts in charter school finance, sponsorship, accountability and policy; and evaluation of dozens of policy options. The report seeks to help Ohio meet four broad goals, under which the 17 specific recommendations are placed: (1) Keep the accountability/autonomy promise by which charter schools are granted greater operational freedom than traditional public schools in exchange for meeting exacting results-based standards; (2) Strengthen Ohio's system of charter school sponsors to ensure that all are held to account for their performance in this vital role; (3) Fund charter schools fairly and address the overwhelming challenge that Ohio charters face in accessing suitable facilities; and (4) With new accountability systems in place, encourage more high-quality schools by removing caps and other restrictions. (Contains 5 tables and 5 figures.) (ERIC). |
