Summary:

"This book takes a comprehensive look at the ways in which charters control enrollment and retention in their schools, often limiting equitable access for all students. It critiques the manner in which charters "counsel out" students--frequently English learners, students with special needs, and non-White students--for even minor infractions or poor academic performance, and urges state and federal policy makers to design a more inclusive and equitable charter sector"-- Provided by publisher.
