Eric Osberg: I would suggest two good resources. One is the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, our generous hosts today. From their home page, www.publiccharters.org, on the lower left you can click on your state to see a snapshot of the charter movement there. Another good resource is the Center for Education Reform (www.edreform.com). Their "fast facts" link on the right will lead you to state-by-state descriptions of charter laws.
And if you do have a cap, complain to your representatives. Tell them your state needs more quality options for its students, not fewer!
