Charters and public school Choice Out West: Lessons and challenges from Idaho, Colorado and New Mexico

We are proud of the work our public charter school partners and public school choice advocates are doing in these three states to create more educational opportunities and to improve outcomes for our students and families. In our states, close to 10 percent or more of students attend public charter schools and many more benefit from opportunities like open enrollment, magnet schools, innovation schools and—more recently—micro-schools and community-based learning societies.
