Charters less diverse throughout the state
Throughout Colorado, the student populations of charter schools are less racially and ethnically diverse, wealthier and include fewer disabled students than other public schools, according to a new report from the state Department of Education.
And Animas High School, the Durango charter school, faces a less diverse environment from which to recruit.
During the last census, 86.8 percent of La Plata County residents identified themselves as white, compared to a national average of 75.1 percent.
Throughout the state:
•37 percent of students enrolled in Colorado charter schools were racial or ethnic minorities in fall 2007, compared to 39 percent in all public schools.
Animas High School is making a concerted push to attract Latino students, said Michael Ackerman, head of school.
“That’s a huge deficiency in this community,” he said. “For whatever reason, we’re not reaching that group.”
•25 percent of charter school students were eligible for free and reduced lunch, a measure of poverty. That compared to 35 percent in all public schools.
•7 percent of charter school students were disabled, compared to 10 percent in all public schools.
•Charter school teachers were paid $11,293 less on average. The average school district teacher was paid $45,950, compared to $34,657 for teachers in charter schools.
“Charter schools have traditionally not been union in any way,” said Njal Schold, president of the Durango Education Association, the local teachers union. “I guess part of the appeal of it from an administrative standpoint is you don’t have to deal with the union at all.”
