I am glad that Ms. Byrd pointed out that Charter Schools are public schools that are governed by the State of Florida Public School Laws. Your question reinforces the image that most people, including the media, misunderstand choice, and the relationship between those various options in education. Magnet schools are part of choice, also. But are inside public schools. They were designed in 1965 to draw majority students to minority schools in minority neighborhoods to help integrate by academic choice rather than by force through busing. Vice President Hubert Humphrey deemed it such.
