The Challenges of Charter Schools

By Laura Knoy on Tuesday, October 30, 2007.

Three years after the state’s first Charter School opened...these alternative public schools show a mixed report card. A few are thriving, but others struggle with perennial funding issues...and for some, this legislative session could be make-or-break for their futures.

Guests

  • Kimberly Casey, Democratic State Representative from East Kingston, Member of the House Education Committee and Chair of the Charter School Oversight Committee
  • Mark Joyce, Executive Director for the NH School Administrators Association
  • Bill Wilmot, Head of School for the Seacoast Charter School in Exeter and Consultant on Charter Schools in New Hampshire. Bill also spent time in Massachusetts as a consultant and teacher for charter schools and ran the middle school portion of a charter school there as well.
