State's charter schools stymied by facilities, funding.(news)
BYLINE: LISA KIM BACH, REVIEW-JOURNAL

At the close of the most recent school year, 10 charter schools were operating across the state. As Nevada enters its fifth year as a charter school state, that number is expected to increase by at least four.
The two biggest stumbling blocks cited most often by those who regulate and those who operate charter schools are facilities and finance. It's one thing to have an idea for a program and go through the application process of establishing a school. It's another thing, charter school proponents say, to actually find an affordable facility that meets all the necessary building and health codes.
