The school is organized into nine educational houses and the teachers stay with the students for all three years. Clear View Elementary Charter in Chula Vista has a strong partnership with Cox Communications and has made intensive and innovative use of instructional technology. This fall, Feaster Charter School will open in Chula Vista. The Edison Project , run by Chris Whittle, will be totally responsible for running the school. Teachers who interviewed to stay have agreed to longer school days, a longer school year, a different pay range, and one month of staff development training before the start of the school year.
Every teacher is given a lap top computer.
After training in the second year every family will be issued a computer. Nubia Charter Elementary School is also opening in the San Diego Unified School District, housed in the Sunday School rooms of Bayview Baptist Church. Child care will be provided before and after normal school hours. There are still many obstacles to overcome in building a successful charter school movement in California and issues that need to be addressed. Because of CTA's influence, the cap of 100 charter schools out of 7,600 schools in the state has not been lifted.
