Bill - your idea is an interesting one.
I know it takes a lot of commitment to succeed, having facilitated planning sessions for a group that wanted to create the "Real World charter school" and has since quit planning. Wayne Jennings in the Twin Cities area, has had a lot of success developing charter schools.

Subject: Charter school resource
 
Jim 
We're looking at the possibility of opening a charter school in the neighborhood 
we serve; the school district is considering (again) closing the neighborhood 
school of about 300 students because they want all schools to house 600-800 
students and the building is 85 years old.

We?re thinking of a Pre-K or K-8 program based on the Kahn Academy resources, 
and using TOP and IE methods in the classroom.  We?ll need a lead staff person 
to work with us to develop and lead the grant planning process with stakeholders 
and community residents.  It?s probably a 9-12 month process with the 
possibility of remaining with the school if it?s funded.

Would you let folk in your networks know of the project and, if they?re 
interested, have them contact me?  Again ? this is very much in the exploration 
stage at this point.

Thanks,

Bill Schlesinger
