The institute established the Center for Education Innovation (CEI) in 1989, which focused on promoting [[charter school]]s, through which the institute became "a mainstay of the school choice movement". The CEI helped create a number of small, alternative public schools in New York and advised New York Governor [[George Pataki]] in crafting the state's charter school law in 1998, which authorized the creation of autonomous public schools.<ref name="Morken">Hubert Morken, Jo Renee Formicola, ''The Politics of School Choice'' (Rowman & Littlefield, 1999), [https://books.google.com/books?id=v4OGs3k2nRwC&pg=PA147 p. 147-148], {{ISBN|978-0847697205}}.</ref>
