As many as 170 new charter schools could open in North Carolina in 2015. That's how many groups met a deadline this month to submit letters of intent to be considered for opening in August 2015, The Raleigh News & Observer reports. The state's 100-school cap on charters was eliminated in 2011, and 127 now are open--serving as many as 65,000 students this year. The number of schools could grow to 153 next year; the state has given preliminary approval for 26 more charters to open in 2014.
