Questionable Headlines

[Lamplighter]

Just FWIW, from Clod's link above...

The Texas Charter Schools Association (TCSA) is the statewide Association
representing over 80% of the students in open-enrollment charters –
448 charter campuses and more than 135,000 students.
Public charter schools vary in mission and model, serving a diverse range of students.

An Association survey of our membership indicates that
16% of Texas charter schools serve high school students
that have dropped out, or are at-risk of dropping out of school.

Additionally, 28% focus on college preparation,
40% serve a specialized mission,
5% are educating students in residential treatment or juvenile justice programs,
and 11% are serving Pre-K and Elementary students.

Clod, there's a couple of somewhat ambiguous remarks in this quote.

Do you have any feeling that the 80% means there are 20% more in open enrollment,
or, the 20 % are closed enrollment.
If the latter, what sort of schools are those ?

Also, what sort of situations are the "40% specialized mission" ?

I guess my (false- ?) impression here in Oregon is that most of our
charter schools are religious- or home-schooling types of schools.
