Since the inception of the Michigan Charter School law in 1995, the charter school movement in Michigan has gained momentum with 240 charter schools in place during the 2009-2010 school year. The long-term objectives of Michigan CSP grant program are to increase the number of high quality charter schools in Michigan that meet the needs of diverse learners, increase student achievement, and to continue to close the achievement gap, especially with at-risk and secondary school students. In meeting the federal Charter School Program purpose, Michigan Public School Academies Program (PSAP) awards sub-grants to charter school developers for early-stage planning and initial implementation of charter schools. Through the use of dissemination sub-grants, the PSAP also provides resources to high performing schools to document and distribute “best practices” to stakeholders within Michigan’s education community. The state will also improve its evaluation component for this grant iteration with the assistance of Stanford University’s Center for Research on Education Outcomes.
More specifically, the goals for the state of Michigan are to produce between 74 and 92 new high quality charter schools in the next five years thereby increasing the number of charter schools by about 15%. Among these new schools will be at least ten new “Schools of Excellence” patterned after high-performing schools or programs and two new, K-12 Cyber Schools. Balancing the appetite for charter expansion with sustained quality achievement and performance is the state’s ongoing challenge – a challenge that the state’s administration for future federal CSP funds will help to address.
