Charters as Tools of Reform.

Pardini, Priscilla

School Administrator, v56 n7 p19-23 Aug 1999

Although many superintendents remain leery of the charter reform movement, some (in Flagstaff, Arizona; Springfield, Massachusetts; and San Carlos, California), see beyond threats to a districtwide innovation model. Taking charters' lead, Flagstaff opened a magnet school and a full-day kindergarten. Another superintendent chartered his entire district. (MLH)
