- Abstract
- The study is designed as an exploratory case study of eight of the 29 charter schools in North Carolina who opened and closed sometime during the eleven year period from 1997 to 2008. It examines what can be learned from closed charter schools to improve financing and technical assistance. Specifically it addresses (a) the factors that led to the closing of charter schools in North Carolina, (b) how the reasons for closing differ between minority-led and non-minority-led schools, (c) whether closed schools are more likely to have particular demographic characteristics. School board training, maintaining enrollment, securing additional funding, and more are found to be critical factors for the success of charter schools in North Carolina.
