I don't mean to be argumentative, but Oregon does not have lotteries to go to charter schools either, at least in my part of the state. Clearly different states have different arrangements, and it is worth while to look and see which seem to work well. This whole charter school thing was not around when my daughter was in school, but it sounds good to me. Parents who send their children to charter schools tend to be more involved in their kids education. I will learn more about them when my grandsons start school
