More students were enrolled in schools managed by Education Management Organizations (EMOs) in 2004-2005 than at any time since the Commercialism in Education Research Unit (CERU) and the Education Policy Research Unit (EPRU) began tracking the industry in 1998-1999.1 The term EMO, originally coined by Wall Street analysts to describe the for-profit companies involved in the management and administration of public schools, is intended to reflect similarities between such companies and Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) .2 For the purposes of this report, a company is considered an EMO ifit is for-profit, manages a school that receives public funds, and operates under the same admissions rules as regular public schools.  \nThis year’s Profiles of For-Profit Education Management Organizations is the largest to date, listing 59 companies that manage 535 schools, enrolling approximately 239,766 students in 24 states and the District of Columbia. In the past year, eight firms have been added to the Profiles, raising the total from 51 in 2003-2004 to 59 in 2004-2005. The 2004-2005 Profiles report is the seventh-annual report on for-profit education management companies. Table 1 indicates the growth in the number of such companies profiled from 1998-1999 through 2004-2005.  \nTable 1: Number of Companies, Schools, and States Profiled by Year  \n\n| \u003Cbr>School Year\u003Cbr>1998-99 1999-2000 2000-01 2001-02 2002-03 2003-04\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>2004-05 | Number of Companies Profiled | \u003Cbr>Number of Schools Managed by Profiled Companies\u003Cbr>| Number of Students Enrolled by Profiled Companies | Number of States in Which Profiled Companies Operate |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  | 13 |  | N/A | 15 |\n|  | 20 |  | N/A | 21 |\n|  | 21 |  | N/A | 22 |\n|  | 36 |  | 142,709 | 25* |\n|  | 54 |  | 189,199 | 26* |\n|  | 51 |  | 200,403 | 29* |\n|  | 59 |  | 239,766 | 25* |\n\n*This number includes the District of Columbia.  \nEMOs manage district schools under a contract with local school districts and charter schools. It is charter school legislation, however, more than any other factor, that is fueling the growth of the for-profit education industry. Although charter schools are public schools operated with public funds, they are generally established by organizations independent of a school district and are given greater freedom in their day-to-day operations in return for achieving certain specified outcomes. Charter holders may include groups of parents, teachers, or both; academic institutions; and non-profit or other organizations. It is common for charter holders to  \nhire EMOs to manage charter schools on their behalf. Less often, EMOs may hold charters directly.3 Charter schools account for a large and growing majority of EMO contracts. Of the EMO-managed schools covered in the Profiles of For-Profit Education Management Companies 2004-2005, 86 percent are charter schools, up from 81 percent in 2003-2004 an","cbCaii3ybxiOhf14","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii3ybxiOhf14","pdf",1792699,185,"English","# Introduction\n## Factors Shaping the Industry\n## Charter Schools and EMO Contracts\n## Industry Consolidation","[{\"question\":\"How does the report define an Education Management Organization (EMO)?\",\"answer\":\"A company is considered an EMO if it is for-profit, manages a school receiving public funds, and operates under the same admissions rules as regular public schools.\"},{\"question\":\"What types of schools dominate EMO-managed contracts in 2004-2005?\",\"answer\":\"Charter schools dominate, accounting for 86% of EMO-managed schools covered in the profiles for 2004-2005.\"},{\"question\":\"What policy-related factor is described as fueling growth in the for-profit education industry?\",\"answer\":\"The report points to charter school legislation as a major factor, and it also describes provisions in the 2002 reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (“No Child Left Behind”) that encourage for-profit education enterprises.\"}]","Profiles of For-Profit Education Management Organizations 2004-2005 - Seventh-Annual Report | PDF",1792047031,466]
