Charter School Debate

By Mike Arnold on Thursday, May 6, 2004.

For over eight years Charter Schools have been operating in certain states, yet have been met with much resistance in the Granite State. Now, with different rules for approval, four charter schools will soon open in New Hampshire under the very watchful eye of state skeptics. A charter school debate is next on the Exchange. Mike's guests are Susan Hollins, Founder of the New Hampshire Charter School Resource Center. Mark Joyce, Executive Director of The New Hampshire School Administrators Association. Senator Iris Estabrook, Democratic Senator from Durham and sponsor of SB421, establishing criteria for the evaluation of charter school applications and Alexis Dascoulias, Chair of the Design Team for Cocheco Arts and Technology Academy: A Public Charter High School in Dover.
