Plan would limit charter schools' independence Philadelphia Daily News 09/11/2009:
"Nearly 30 representatives from the city's 60 charter schools gathered last night at the Mathematics, Civics and Sciences Charter School, on Broad Street near Spring Garden, to speak against the amendment, which would peg charter schools' requests for increased enrollment or additional grades to their renewal application.
Currently, the schools, whose charters generally are up for renewal every five years, can request changes to enrollment or grade configuration at any time."
