[YEP-DC] NEW: Governance in the charter sector: Time for a Reboot

The Thomas B. Fordham Institute has released a new policy brief, Governance in the charter sector: Time for a reboot by Adam Emerson. The brief offers three policy recommendations to bring charter governance up-to-date: 
  1.  Existing charter networks that meet high-quality markers set by the state should be able to organize multiple schools under single boards.
  2.  A contract should exist between the school's governing board and the management organization to ensure independence of the board and to disclose any conflicts of interest. 
  3. Virtual charter schools should be authorized by a state-level authorizing entity.
