Big news for Colorado charter schools. That state's legislature has just passed two bills packed with useful charter law reforms. One creates a Colorado State Charter Institute to sponsor charter schools, removing local districts from their monopoly over that key role. The other eliminates caps on the number of charter schools in Colorado, bars enrollment caps, seeks to ensure equitable funding for charters, and brings charter school accountability more in line with state and federal requirements. Governor Bill Owens is expected to sign them posthaste.
