Waiting to Get into a Charter School?

There are more than 24,000 students waiting to get into Colorado charter schools.

Here's a new video from Illinois about charter schools in that state. To compare some of the statistics: Colorado has 150 charter schools operating with approximately 55,000 students enrolled.
