Why should school boards support the creation of charter schools?
Charter schools enable communities to provide new and vibrant opportunities for their students and operate without many of the costly and stifling mandates that hinder creativity and innovation in public education. Through the creation of charter schools, school boards see firsthand how further mandate relief benefits all public schools in Pennsylvania. Also, charter schools foster innovation and serve as models for traditional public schools. Finally, through expanded community and parental involvement, charter schools increase support for public education in Pennsylvania.
