DESCRIPTORS *Accountability; *Charter Schools; Educational Innovation; Elementary Secondary Education; *Enrollment; Ethnic Groups; Government School Relationship; Racial Composition; *School Demography; *School Organization; State Legislation; Student Evaluation IDENTIFIERS *California ABSTRACT In 1992, California became the second state to enact legislation enabling the creation of charter schools. This report provides information about 44 California charter schools that, as of the 1994-95 school year, had been in operation for at least 1 year. These 44 schools responded to a survey that was sent to each of the 62 California charter schools that were operational during the 1994-95 school year elicited (the response rate was 71 percent). Of the 62 schools, 33 serve elementary grades, 5 serve middle grades, 5 serve high school grades, and 18 serve some combination of the three. The data show wide variation among the schools as to geographic location, size and urbanicity, curricular and instructional practices, and strategies for student assessment. Many charter schools were linked to other national-level education reform efforts, and many had invested heavily in educational technology. In general, the schools used innovative instructional practices, reached out to less advantaged and racially diverse student populations, enjoyed intensive parent and community support, and were laying the groundwork for achieving a deregulated and accountability-driven education system.

  • 1. Despite Being Handed a Resounding Victory by the Third District Court of Appeal, Disquieting Rumors Are Circulating That Gove
    WARD VALLEY 1. Despite being handed a resounding victory by the Third District Court of Appeal, disquieting rumors are circulating that Governor Pete Wilson is still seeking a way to compromise with Senator David Roberti and hold some kind of hearings before directing his Department of Health Services to proceed with the licensing. Biomedical Industry Council (BIC) President David Hale, Biocommerce Environmental Chair Mary Walker have written to the Governor imploring him to get on with the licensing, beliving that any further hearing will only reactivate the "media circus" so well controlled by project opponents. ' 2. State Controller Gray Davis held a press conference requesting Secretary of Interior Bruce Babbitt to withhold his land transfer decision pending adjudicatory hearings. xxx, formerly at UCLA, offered a paper he authored on the adjudicatory hearings at that university. "The Committee to Bridge the Gap, the same group leading the opposition to the licensing of Ward Valley, was the principal intervenor in the UCLA hearings. They presented almost four thousand interrogatory questions. After four years of hearings, nothing was decided, and UCLA simply withdrew, out of frustration, he wrote. Copies of the complete report are available from Deborah Abblitt at 534-4750. 3. Citing a buildup of low-level waste in biotech companies and research laboratories in their districts, San Diego elected officials are writing Secretary Bruce Babbitt, requesting him to get on with his review of the land transfer question, so that all the waste can be stored in just one location. So far, letters have been sent by State Senators Lucy Killea and Wassie Deddah, State Assemblypersons Dede Alpert, Steve Peace and Tom Connolly, Mike Gotch?.
