schools. The contractor, SRI International, will gather data on charter
school policies and practices at the state, chartering agency, and
charter school levels. The study examines the use of PCSP funds at
these levels, assesses the impact of flexibility provisions in states'
charter school legislation, and assesses the effect of charter schools
on student performance. Respondents include federal PCSP staff, state
charter school coordinators, representatives of chartering agencies and
charter schools, and parents.
