&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Do the public schools have a website where we can get that same information?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="CLEAR:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Yes, usually in their annual report which is generally posted on the district website. Additionally, MEAP scores, if that is what you are interested, are generally published in the newspaper. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Edited to add: It is about time charter schools have to come across with some data. Now, let&amp;#39;s make them take everyone who shows up, just like the public schools, instead of cherry picking the students they want to work with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: 2011 House Bill 5098 (Increase regulations on charter school management companies )</title><link>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/282454.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 31 Oct 2011 12:51:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:282454</guid><dc:creator>albaby2</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/282454.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=11&amp;PostID=282454</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Do the public schools have a website where we can get that same information?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>2011 House Bill 5098 (Increase regulations on charter school management companies )</title><link>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/282453.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 2001 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:282453</guid><dc:creator>Votes Admin</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/282453.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=11&amp;PostID=282453</wfw:commentRss><description>Introduced in the House on October 19, 2011&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.michiganvotes.org/2011-HB-5098'&gt;Click here to view bill details.&lt;/a&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
