Authorized in 1995 by the Texas Legislature, charter schools are part of an educational reform movement that seeks to promote innovative, high-quality learning. Yet, government funding and other support for charter schools remains a controversial and contentious issue. Opponents express concerns about accountability and reallocating resources from traditional public schools. What does research say about the effectiveness of charter schools? What are the pros and cons of charter schools?
Join us on February 10 for the third installment of the Opportunity Forum’s 2016-17 Lunch Series, Hot Topics in Access to Opportunity, to hear about the latest research on charter schools followed by a critical dialogue about these questions and more.
