Charter Schools

THE MIGHT BE GOOD NEWS:

"The U.S. Education Department is engaged in a high-pressure campaign to get states to lift limits on charter schools through a $4 billion education fund, Race to the Top, that encourages more charters as one of the criteria for states to qualify for a piece of the pie. A total of 40 states and the District of Columbia permit charter schools."

Even better news would be that the U.S. Education Department wanted to see public education move to a voucher system.
