Abstract

This article provides a descriptive study of charter schools in Texas and some of the legal questions raised. It surveys some issues to be resolved in the future, including the powers and duties of charter schools and the applicability of governance-related restrictions to charter schools. Lastly, the article reasons that charter schools are a reasonable alternative to public schools for parents who want to choose an alternative to the local school system without paying for a private education.
