That’s right, Carpenter Avenue is now Carpenter Charter. Colfax Elementary switched to a charter school years ago and it has worked out nicely for them. There are many reasons to become a Charter school. Most of them have to do with the control of the money. Funds given to a school by LAUSD are very restrictive and can only be spent in certain places. A very interesting article explaining more can be found HERE.
Ultimately the decision for a school to become a Charter School is with the parents as it takes a great deal of commitment and effort.
