charter schools
The educational reforms of the 1990s allowed for community design within public schools. Parents, teachers and others (including corporate consultants) applied for special, independent but publicly funded charters to operate their institutions. Spreading especially through troubled urban school systems, this innovation allows for increased community commitment, program innovation and special needs of schools and neighborhoods, but also facilitates corporate involvement in planning and management.
