Charter schools promote transparency
The Guam Charter Schools Act of 2008 would establish and maintain schools that operate independently from the Guam Public School System. The co-sponsor of the bill is Senator Tina Rose Muna-Barnes, who says this is a positive thing for our island's students. "It gives the accountability and transparency and it gives ownership not just to the administrators, but ownership to the students and it has everybody coming together and working together," she explained.
Charter schools are publicly funded elementary and secondary schools that aren't constrained by some of the rules, regulations and statutes that apply to other public schools, in exchange for some type of accountability for producing results, which are set forth in the school's charter.
