As a result, I feel that we have the basic structure of a public school and have benefited from that solid foundation. I wonder if there is any research on the success rate of charters that start out as traditional public schools versus schools that originate as charters?

I just want to share the idea that cell phones should be used for emergency use only. They should not be pulled out during class. Using cell phones in a classroom can be a distraction for the teacher and student's learning. There's a place and time to use a cellphone or other computer device.
