The Success and Opportunity through Quality Charter Schools Act () is a bill that would amend and reauthorize both the Charter School Programs and the Credit Enhancement for Charter School Initiatives under Title V of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 through fiscal year 2020 and combine them into a single authorization.〔 This is intended to streamline and improve the grants process and increase the funding for these programs from $250 million to $300 million. The bill was introduced in the United States House of Representatives during the 113th United States Congress. ==Background== (詳細はprimary or secondary education without charge to pupils who take state-mandated exams.〔(What is a charter school? )〕 These charter schools are subject to fewer rules, regulations, and statutes than traditional state schools, and receive public funding, typically a fixed amount per pupil. They are non-profits but they may be managed by for-profit entities in many districts and states,〔(【引用サイトリンク】Roosevelt Institute ">title=Education for Profit: The Darker Side of Charter Schools )〕 and they can receive donations from private sources.〔(【引用サイトリンク】National Education Association">title=Charter Schools )〕 In 2013-2014, there were an estimated 6,400 American charter schools with a total of 2.5 million students. Waiting lists grew from an average of 233 in 2009 to 277 in 2012, with places allocated by lottery.〔(Understanding Charters :: California Charter Schools Association )〕 They educate the majority of children in New Orleans Public Schools.〔''RSD looks at making charters pay rent'', The Times-Picayune, December 18, 2009.〕 Charter schools may provide a specialized curriculum (for example in arts, mathematics, or vocational training), however others aim to provide a better and more cost-efficient general education than nearby non-charter public schools. Charter schools may be founded by teachers, parents, or activists although state-authorized charters (schools not chartered by local school districts) are often established by non-profit groups, universities, or government entities. School districts may permit corporations to manage multiple charter schools. The first charter school law was in Minnesota in 1991. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Success and Opportunity through Quality Charter Schools Act」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
