Charter School Funding in New York: Perspectives on Parity with Traditional Public Schools
Robin  Jacobowitz, Jonathan S.  Gyurko, Institute for Education and Social Policy, 3/1/2004

The New York State Charter Schools Act, passed in 198, identifies a bundle of resources available to charter schools from a variety of local, state, and federal sources. The Act intends for these resources to provide adequate funding and support for the operation of charter schools. Specific resources include a per pupil payment for general operating support, additional state funding for special education, federal dollars driven by student population (e.g. No Child Left Behind Title I funding), as well as in-kind services from the school district in which the charter school resides. This bundle of local, state, and federal resources roughly mirrors the funding and support provided to traditional public schools. Yet since the passage of the Act, and since New York State’s first five charter schools opened their doors in the fall of 1999, charter school advocates and operators have argued that this funding is insufficient.
