First, thank you for all your postings about museums and schools.  After
checking up, we have found four museums associated with charter schools.
Three are described at length in an article in the Sept/Oct issue of Museum
News.  Those are the Flagstaff Arts and Leadership Academy, Museum of
Northern Arizona, founded in 1996; Henry Ford Academy of Manufacturing at
Henry Ford Museum, founded in 1997; and the Museum School at the Children's
Museum/Musio De los Ninos in San Diego which started in the fall of 1998.
The other museum with a charter school is the Carter House Natural Science
Museum in Redding, CA.  The name of that school is Chrysalis Charter School.

If you are interested in more information on charter schools, US News ran a
cover story on April 27, 1998.  The Center for Education Reform
(edreform.com) has several pieces.

Thanks again,

Ruby
