Title of Study

Charter School Position Update Study

Summary of Study

At the 2013 LWVIL state convention, delegates approved updating the 2001 Charter Schools Position during the 2013-2015 biennium, in light of new developments. This study does not attempt to resolve the issue of whether charter schools or traditional public schools achieve better student outcomes or offer more to families. Rather, the primary question guiding this study is whether steps should be taken to tighten the school code so that such problems do not continue to arise.
