Education by Charter: Restructuring School Districts

By: Ray Budde

It was in this book that Ray Budde named and defined the charter school concept that is gaining followers and influencing school reform legislation across the United States. In case-study style, Budde follows a new superintendent as he provides school board members and staff with a vision of how to restructure the school district over the course of a decade. The impetus is the gradual shift of the "responsible control" of the entire function of instruction to those who teach. This shift is accomplished by the school board granting 3- to 5-year "educational charters" to teachers organized according to subjects, grade levels, and/or schools.
