[quote=Anonymous]What if there were two classes of charters, city-wide and community. When a charter is approved by the charter board they would have to decide which type they want to be. The two types would have different application processes. The charter board would be responsible for creating an appropriate mix. I understand the opposition to local preference, but the current model of all charters being citywide is just insane from a planning perspective. It creates an incredible burden on parents and the transportation system to shuffle tens of thousands of kids around the city twice a day. I believe that it is possible to have a system with essentially the same outcomes we have now, but much less of a transportation burden, if proximity were factored into the admission process.[/quote]
