Excerpt
Excerpt: This report is the first in a series examining the policy issues relating to charter schools in Hawai?i. It addresses the overall challenges to charter schools, the law establishing a charter funding formula, a new program area of the state budget, fringe benefits, and issues needing clarification and resolution. To date, there are twenty-seven New Century Charter Schools, responsible for the education of nearly 5,000 public school students. About half of these students attend charter schools on Oahu, thirty-eight percent are on the Big Island, and the rest are on Maui, Kauai, and Molokai. Fifty-five percent of the students are in elementary school, forty-five percent in grades 7?12.
