agencies (SEAs).

**Frequency of Data Collection**. Annual

**Data Quality**. Data are validated by on-site monitoring by the
Department and data from the Center for Education Reform. Differences in
the definition of charter schools (i.e., some states count multiple
sites as single charters, while others count them as multiple charters)
cause variability in the counts among state educational agencies. There
is sometimes disagreement about numbers of charter schools in operation
among the agencies that do the counting.
