11. The Ideas Behind Chartering
| 11
States should…
1. Withdraw the exclusive geographic franchises given to school districts.
2. Create ways to establish new public schools that create competition for
existing schools and empower parents with choice.
These new public schools should…
1. Be authorized by an entity that oversees and holds them accountable,
but unlike a school district does not own or operate the school.
2. Be freed from unnecessary rules and regulations, in exchange for
producing results.
3. Be dually accountable: to the marketplace of parental choice and to the
standards of the public interest.
12. CHARTER SCHOOLS
A strategy to transform public
education by injecting choice,
change and competition
into the system.

by communicating key messages through…

variety of mediums.

reports; the cycle repeats itself until the message is heard by all.
