The Southern Highland Reader

STATEWIDE–North Carolina’s charter school law is weak, according to the Center for Education Reform, a national organization based in Maryland that promotes charter schools.

Lynn Bonner at the Raleigh News and Observer blogs that the organization criticizes North Carolina for limiting the state’s number of charter schools to 100, and for failing to help existing schools with facilities costs. The Center ranks North Carolina 29th of 40 states that have charter school laws.
