Open Item Text: 

The School Reform Act’s late April 1996 passage left far too little time to run a thorough charter application process or allow schools to plan for opening in the fall of 1996. But the Board of Education, which felt itself under congressional pressure to authorize charter schools, authorized three schools that opened in the fall of 1996 (none of those schools is still open today).
