“…In California, the West Oakland Community School (WOCS) shows how this process could work. This Afrocentric school, which opened in 1999, focused on college preparation, community building, and leadership development (Stuhlberg, 2015). The founding group for this school -which was almost entirely black -consisted of teachers, administrators, youth program founders, researchers, parents and community advocates (Stuhlberg, 2015).…”

The lack of quality education many charter schools offer disproportionately and adversely impacts communities of color. This article considered two models of charter school governance in use by California and Ohio. The first model posits that a fundamental tenet of charter schools is freedom from the burdensome bureaucracy traditional public schools bear. Based on the argument that deregulation enables charter schools to employ more innovative instructional and management practices, it assumes higher achievement scores would follow. The second model proposes to address educational inequality by increasing accountability on charter school authorizers by increasing regulatory practices. These models example the variety of governance models extant. In addition, arguments supporting each model are presented. The authors conclude with a discussion that supports the position that while autonomy is essential to maintaining the original objectives of charter schools, states must hold authorizers accountable for student achievement.

“…While sites of authentic liberation should be recognized, one should temper such recognition with cautious realism. ''The wonder of the 'charter liberation' story,'' write Stern and Hussain, ''is that it provides hope, yet it dangerously detracts us from the work of making meaningful linkages-between past movements for racial justice 55 Stulberg (2015). 56 Ibid., 40.…”

Choices or Rights? Charter Schools and the Politics of Choice-Based Education Policy Reform

Simply put, charter schools have not lived up to their advocates' promise of equity. Using examples of tangible civil rights gains of the twentieth century (e.g. Brown v. Board, Lau v. Nichols) and extending feminist theories of invisible labor to include the labor of democracy, the authors argue that the charter movement renders invisible the labor that secured civil protections for historically marginalized groups. The charter movement hangs a quality public education-previously recognized as a universal guarantee-on the education consumer's ability to navigate a marketplace. The authors conclude that the neoliberal agenda of positioning choice as the best mechanism for securing an education rolls back the rights that were already secured through the labor of democracy.

“…Thus school choice is framed as part of "the unfinished business of the civil rights movement" and charters as "the educational and cultural solutions to the failures of traditional public schools to adequately serve students of color and low-income students." 10 On the other hand, charter school opponents characterize the expansion as a neoliberal assault on the public sector by private or market-based interests. Thus the debate tends to fall broadly into a market versus state dichotomy, which has linked education policy to broader left-and right-wing politics and caused a resultant politicization of research data around the efficacy of charter schools.…”
