You neglected to mention that charter schools are public schools and offer parents an alternative to district run education.
Certainly not wanting to get into a last word contest here but my piece makes several references to the educational innovations coming out of charter schools. I think the sheer number of students attending charters is a clear indicator of a demand for choice as no one is forcing anyone to attend a charter in lieu of a traditional public school. In fact, one of my children attends a charter school. Likewise, this is not about all charter schools or public schools being one thing or another. This is about 3, again 3, school districts out of 997 (that’s 3/10ths of 1 percent where I come from) being looked at for a suspect process. Problem for me is that one of the three, or 1/10th of 1 percent of all school districts in the state, is the district where I live and where I am a candidate for the board. In other words, what Lee Jenkinson said.
As always, a potentially good idea is abused by those in charge for personal gain. It sounds as if legislation to tighten up oversight and practices is overdue.
