Whereas an additional $50,000,000 in Federal appropriations
has now been approved to help address the facilities’ fi-
nancing needs of charter schools;
Whereas charter schools can be vehicles for improving stu-
dent achievement for students who attend them, for stim-
ulating change and improvement in all public schools,
and for benefiting all public school students;
Whereas charter schools must meet the student achievement
accountability requirements included by the No Child
Left Behind Act of 2001 in the Elementary and Sec-
ondary Education Act of 1965 in the same manner as
other public schools, and often set higher and additional
individual goals, to ensure that they are of high quality
and truly accountable to the public;
Whereas charter schools give parents new freedom to choose
their public school, charter schools routinely measure pa-
rental satisfaction levels, and charter schools must prove
their ongoing and increasing success to parents, policy-
makers, and their communities;
Whereas nearly 70 percent of charter schools report having
a waiting list, and the total number of students on all
such waiting lists is enough to fill another 1,000 average-
sized charter schools;
Whereas students in charter schools nationwide have demo-
graphic characteristics similar to students in all public
schools;
Whereas charter schools in many States serve significant
numbers of students from families with lower incomes,
minority students, and students with disabilities, and, in

the United States: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That—
(1) the House of Representatives acknowledges and
commends the charter school movement, charter schools
across the United States, and the students, parents,
teachers, and administrators of such schools, for their
ongoing contributions to education and to improving and
strengthening the public school system of the United
States;
(2) the House of Representatives supports the
fourth annual National Charter Schools Week; and
(3) it is the sense of the House of Representatives
