"Many charters are already pioneering innovative uses of data. Take a look at the
Brighter Choice Schools in Albany. They are using real-time data-driven decision
making-evaluating students on an ongoing basis in every major subject and
adjusting instructional strategies."

"Any student who is there for three years is guaranteed to pass the state exams in math, reading and science. Those who don't will be given a private scholarship to any other public or private school."
