Of 10 schools that opened in the past five years, two have dropped their charters. Eight schools are left. Some resemble their traditional public school counterparts, despite their license to break the mold.

Interesting article about school reform, KIPP, and Harlem Children's Zone
From a D.C. charter school founder: http://www.truthout.org/060209EDA

Charter school contacts in D.C?
Hi all,
I am Elaine from Columbia for those of you at the other "incubators."
Do you know anyone involved in the D.C. charter school system?--teacher, student, policymaker, administrator? am going there next week to try to meet as many people who have a stake in the growing charter school community there. Let me know!
Thanks, and here's to a wild spring and summer!
