Abstract:

Senate Bill 8 changed North Carolina's policy for charter schools by eliminating the cap which limited charter schools to just 100 to an unlimited number. Nine applications have been submitted since the bill was enacted last summer. Recently the Public Charter School Advisory Council approved all nine applications submitted, including two for the Durham and Chapel Hill-Carrboro area - both contested by local school boards.
