• W93129483 abstract "School franchising (defined as the replication of a particular product or service across a wide geographic region) marks a radical departure from the traditional view of the community-based neighborhood school. This paper reports on a study of a growing niche of charter school private management contracts in Massachusetts. The focus is on the factors facilitating these schools' growth so as to provide a description of two of these unique partnerships (Edison Project and the Sabis School Network). The report is driven by four questions: 1) how are for-profit management firms gaining contracts with charter schools in Massachusetts?; 2) why are private management firms' contracts with charters growing in Massachusetts?; 3) how are the private management firms operating the charter schools in Massachusetts? and 4) how do charters managed by private firms compare to more traditional charters? Through these questions, information regarding ways in which contractor and charter are linked to policy makers interested in the growing population of charters schools managed by for-profit firms is presented. An analysis of the operation of public charter schools by two for-profit firms in Massachusetts shows how private management and charter schools are overlapping, revealing the implication for future opportunities to franchise an educational model. The analysis includes an investigation of the regulatory issues dictating the relationship between private management firms and public schools. (Contains 58 references.)

We have fast food franchises, convenience storc franchises, furniture franchises and automotive service franchises just to name a fcw. Our propensity for franchises is an indication that wc like the familiar and that creating copies of a successful service or product makes good business sense. McDonald's is essentially the same in Springfield, Vermont, Springfield, Illinois and Springfield, California and we take comfort in the fact that we know what we will gct when we order a particular item regardless of the location. However, to date we have not developed comparable public school franchises. While certain bcst or accepted practices such as hiring certified teachers or requiring particular literary selections are similar in almost all public schools, schools arc still unique primarily due to state and local policies. The current growth of private, for-profit entities managing public charter schools may potentially become the first example of public schools. The idea of franchising schools is a radical departure from the traditional view of the community based ncighborhood school. For the purpose of this investigation, the concept of franchising is simply the replication of a particular product or service across a wide geographic region. Franchising encompasses more complex economic theories regarding competition and market monopolies; however, these theories arc beyond the scope or purpose of this research. Therefore, for the purpose of this research, the notion of franchising simply refers to one vendor replicating their product or services in a number of different locations. Analogous to the Burger King Whopper or the Seven-Eleven Big Gulp, charter schools managed by a particular firm may essentially be the same in Massachusetts, Michigan, or Arizona. Putting aside thc likely dcbatc about the relative merits of the concept of franchised public schools for the time being, it is" @default.
