  • Costly Failure: California Is Overpaying for Online Charter Schools That Are Failing Students
    Costly Failure: California Is Overpaying for Online Charter Schools That Are Failing Students By Gordon Lafer, Clare Crawford, Larissa Petrucci, and Jennifer Smith In the Public Interest FEBRUARY 2021 About This Report With California’s two-year moratorium on authorizing new nonclassroom-based charter schools ending at the close of 2021, state legislators will need to use the 2021 legislative session to develop a more permanent solution to the sector’s enduring problems. This report finds that nonclassroom-based charter schools – and those delivering education primarily online, in particular – provide an inferior quality of education. Adding insult to injury, the state is wasting hundreds of millions of dollars a year by funding these schools at a level far above their costs. Additionally, analysis shows that the state’s school system is already oversaturated with nonclassroom-based charter schools. The report concludes by identifying the most promising policy solutions to these problems that have been proposed nationwide. About the Author Gordon Lafer, Ph.D., is a political economist and professor at the University of Oregon’s Labor Education and Research Center. He has written widely on issues of public policy, and is author of The One Percent Solution (Cornell University Press, 2017). Lafer has served as Senior Policy Advisor for the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Education and Labor, and has testified as an expert witness before the U.S. Senate, House of Representatives, and numerous state legislatures. **Coauthors include Clare Crawford, Larissa Petrucci, and Jennifer Smith. About In the Public Interest In the Public Interest is a national nonprofit research and policy organization that studies public goods and services.
