Companies Serving Public Schools (1999)
Public education is changing in many ways, one of which is the role of school management providers. For years, the thought of a for-profit company running a public school was taboo.

Here you’ll find a list of the major providers as of December 1999, including 16 organizations that manage 200 charter schools.
