First Principles II: New Charter School Model 

If the idea is to allow school to innovate as much as possible then I propose a new model for charter schools. Let's call it the private school model. I think that once a charter is awarded then the school is evaluated at one period such as 5 years or 3 years. At the end of this evaluation then the decision is made to allow the school to go on for another 3 or 5 years. But no monthly or quarterly reports, no annual compliance reviews, and no going before the authorizing body for every contract approval.

More later.
