Abstract:

The 1995 General Assembly passed legislation authorizing charter schools, or schools operated by a private, non-profit organization. Of the state's ninety-nine charter schools, almost 20 percent of them are located in Wake and Durham Counties. Republicans want more or them; Democrats worry that they are a form of segregation. Geary discusses the consequences of raising the cap on the number of schools.
