Summary
This resolution celebrates and recognizes the contributions of public charter schools to public education. It notes that about 8,000 charter schools serve roughly 3.7 million students in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico and that enrollment rose from about 660,000 in 2002 to 3.7 million in 2021. The text cites a 2023 Stanford report finding low-income charter students gain the equivalent of 16 extra days of reading and 6 extra days of math learning each year and expresses support for National Charter Schools Week, May 10–16, 2026.
