Foreword

Abstract

“Where was this book in October of 1992?!!!” That was my initial reaction after reading Kim Hughes and Sara Silva's edited book. As the founder of California's first charter school (and the nation's second) and CEO and Co-founder of the nation's first charter management organization, it's clear to me that this text would have been invaluable as education entrepreneurs worked in the early days of charter schools AND even more important today.
