Charter "Profit."

American School Board Journal, v181 n9 p27-28 Sep 1994

Controversy surrounds Michigan's first charter "school"--a distance-learning network of home schoolers that may come online this fall with some 1,200 students and about $6.6 million in state aid. The school could make a $4 million profit by its third year of operation. An alternative curriculum that promotes creationism has the Michigan American Civil Liberties Union worried. (MLH)
