Since the charter school movement began in 1991 in Minnesota, these schools have filled a need in American society, giving individuals, communities, and
local associations a chance to create their own schools — with
tax dollars paying the basic costs.
And finally, the Colorado Education Association (CEA) charged that district schools shouldn't have to share
local tax dollars,
since charters didn't share the unique funding they received through grants, donations, and charter - specific federal funds.
