• Reasons to Support Charter Schools

---

40 states have charter school laws BUT NOT WASHINGTON STATE.

Although the Washington Legislature passed a charter school law in March 2004, labor unions and other charter school opponents persuaded a majority of voters to overturn the law in a referendum that was decided in the November 2004 election. As a result, bringing the CHOICE of charter public schools to WA will require the passage of new legislation authorizing charter schools, either by the Legislature or, through the initiative process, by the People.
