Maloney  \nJanuary 2022  \nSchool Choice Demonstration Project  \nDepartment of Education Reform  \nUniversity of Arkansas  \n201 Graduate Education Building  \nFayetteville, AR 72701  \nExecutive Summary  \nPublic charter schools are increasingly becoming part of both the broader national conversation about education policy as well as the local urban scene in the United States. The latter is certainly true in Rochester, New York, where charter schools serve more than 18 percent of the students who attend school in the city. Given the important role that charter schools play in educating Rochester’s students, we sought to learn if students who attend the city’s charter schools are funded equitably when compared to students in Rochester City School District (RCSD) schools.  \nTo help answer this question, our research team systematically reviewed funding documents for the city’s district-run and independent charter schools for the 2019-20 school year. Our analysis uncovered a 42% charter school funding deficit, representing a gap of $14,280 per student. Figure 1 shows that RCSD received $33,972 per pupil while Rochester’s charters received only $19,691. Rochester’s charter school funding gap is one of the largest among the nearly 20 urban areas we have analyzed over the past decade.  \nWhile differences in student characteristics explain some of this gap, it is so large that demographics alone cannot fully account for the deficit. We specifically highlight the lack of facilities support as a glaring difference between Rochester and New York City, where charter funding is substantially more equitable.  \nWe hope that this report, highlighting the large charter school funding inequities in New York’s fourth largest city, will spur an informed discussion around what the state can do to better  \nsupport charter school students in upstate New York.1  \n1 The Gleason Family Foundation made this study possible with a research grant.

Charter schools are public schools for which their public, authorizing agencies grant operational autonomy in return for a commitment to achieve performance levels specified in a contract or “charter.” Like traditional public schools (TPS) that public school districts run, charter schools are prohibited from charging tuition, and may not discriminate in any way in admission nor identify any religion in their operation or affiliation. A public entity must oversee them. Unlike TPS, however, most public charter schools are open to all students who wish to apply, regardless of where they live. Ifa charter school is over-subscribed, random lotteries usually determine which students are admitted. Most charter schools are independent of the school district in which they operate.  \nPublic charter schools have become a major feature of the education landscape. The first public charter school was established in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1991. By 2018-19, there were over 7,400 public charter schools serving about 3.3 million students in 43 states and the District of Columbia.2 In New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and Detroit, public charter schools educate over 40 percent ofK-12 students.  \nThe Empire State has seen similar growth in its number of charter schools and the students they serve.
