[quote=Anonymous]There seems to be huge amount of confusion on this board. Local school boards can do what they like with their schools - establish test-in programs, magnets, immersion etc., as they have to stay within the bounds of local laws, and their employees are public employees. Thus, Oyster, the MoCo Mandarin programs etc. can allow in later grade admissions. Charter schools, which involves the transfer of public money to private entities in the form of the school's board or, in some cases, one of these national corporations like Edison, are subject to stricter oversight in the form of federal regulations. They must award spaces by lottery. That's the only way to keep resources from being siphoned off from the original mission of improving schools for low income kids (although the record of charters on that front nationwide is not great). The Options case suggests that charters need some oversight.[/quote]
