Morrison Institute for Public Policy has analyzed returns from Arizona’s Proposition 301-supported public investments in science and technology research at Arizona State University since 2001. This publication updates a portion of the April 2003 study, "Seeds of Prosperity: Public Investment in Science and Technology Research."
This publication updates the January 2004 study, New Returns on Investment in the Knowledge Economy: Proposition 301 at Arizona State University, FY 2003. Both works were launched by the report, Seeds of Prosperity: Public Investment in Science and Technology Research (2003), by Morrison Institute for Public Policy. Morrison Institute will periodically publish new material to keep you informed of the status of Proposition 301 investments at Arizona State University.
As the charter school movement continues to gain momentum, initial impacts and trends are becoming visible. The briefing builds upon previous work by the Morrison Institute, updating activities across the 12 initial charter states and offering observations on some initial trends and impacts.
With so much new school reform activity within the United States centering on charter schools, a fresh appraisal of the situation is in order. This briefing summarizes the history of charter school laws and updates their current status across the country. Although this is not intended to be a comprehensive review, several charter school research projects are described: some that have revealed lessons learned in the implementation of charter school laws, and others, more national in scope, that were designed to systematically describe existing charter schools and document their impacts.
