 PROFILE
Like Thomas, Edison Schools is turning on light bulbs -- the mental kind. It manages about 115 public schools (some are different grade levels on the same campus) in 21 states and Washington, DC, including charter and contract schools. The schools have an academy-style focus, as well as longer school days and school years. Edison was founded in 1991 by CEO Christopher Whittle, famous for his advertiser-backed TV news broadcast, Channel One, shown in some US public schools. It is offering stock options to school employees, a first in the education industry. Investment firms J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and Investor AB are among several firms that have stakes in the company; Whittle owns about 21% of its voting shares.
