Recommended: Schools have policies and procedures

In Neuse Charter School there is a crisis going on with students. Some of the students are not happy with the new lunch schedule the administration has put in place.
This year the administration has split the lunch schedules by what teacher you have instead of grade level. With this being said this splits up half of the grade levels for ‘A lunch’ and ‘B lunch’ which is where the problem begins.
Some of the students that do not like the new switch up are speaking out. The Juniors are saying they do not like the fact that most of their friends are not there to talk to during their only free time during the day. Another big thing they do not like is some students have lunch an hour later than they did last year.

    One of the most pressing issues facing the United States today is its failing educational system. While many solutions have been proposed, the idea of charter schools has been both popular and controversial.

Charters will drain already scarce funding from regular public schools, and many of the supposed “positives” surrounding them are uncertain and unpredictable at best.

    Since President Clinton signed into law, H. R. 2616, the “Charter School Expansion Act of 1998” charter schools have been providing an alternative for parents of public school students (Lin, Q., 2001, p.2). To date, charter schools enroll over 500,000 students (Fusarelli, 2002, p. 1). Charter schools have been favorable because it is believed that they can provide for a way to enhance student achievement by serving students who have been under-served by the public schools (Fusarelli, 2002). There is a belief that by creating a competitive educational system, public schools will undergo significant reforms in response to the threat (Franklin, 2002). Because parents of charter school students have made the choice for their children to attend a charter school, it is believed that parents will become more “involved” in their child’s education (Hammer, 2003). Charter schools in many states are “exempt from many state mandates” (Fusarelli, 2002, p. 2). As a result of these exemptions, charter schools also have more flexibility for the administrators when hiring teachers and running a school. They are able to provide higher salaries for teachers working in hard to fill teaching positions (Finn, Kanstoroom, 2002).
