	title = {Charter schools: {A} descriptive study of empowerment within the operation of charter schools},
	abstract = {The purpose of this study was to describe the variables that contributed to the
establishment of a charter school in an urban Arizona district and rural California district noting the similarities
and dissimilarities, and to disclose the factors used to justify the implementation of the Montessori theory of
education. Another purpose of the study was to describe the guidelines for maintaining a charter school, and the
evaluation methods and factors used in the school's unique experience with staffing and funding. Methodology .
This research was descriptive and employed a case study approach. Descriptive research methodology was
used to identify the same factors found in the Arizona study replicated by the researcher. Nonprobability,
purposive sampling technique was the sampling used in the study. The instrument used for the study was
interviews. Findings . The NFL/YET Academy in Arizona and Discovery Charter School in California
experienced many similarities when the same variables were applied to both schools. As a result, the
stakeholders of both schools used the principles of the organizational theory of empowerment to implement
choices in curriculum. This process allowed the stakeholders an opportunity to meet the educational needs of
students in the community. Conclusions . The following conclusions were made: (1) community empowerment
plays a vital role in educating children; (2) the charter school movement allows parents, teachers,
administrators, and community leaders to be involved in the creation of school governance and curriculum; and
(3) charter schools allow all stakeholders to become involved in the decision-making process.
Recommendations . The following are recommendations for further study: (1) This study should be conducted
using a greater number of charter schools, and (2) This study should be conducted using administrator's
leadership style in the organizational theory area of structure/roles.},
