More news

Part of a letter to the editor published in the Dayton Daily News

87% is shameful.  $1 billion should be criminal

In fact, multiple charter school scandals across the state are causing Ohio citizens to wake up and ask why one billion taxpayer dollars per year are pouring into a ‘failed choice’ for almost 100,000 of Ohio’s children. Currently, 87% of Ohio’s charter school students are attending a charter school with a D or F rating. Recently, Ohio has been branded as the “Wild, Wild West of Charters” and called a charter school “free for all” by the National Association of Charter School Authorizers due to an astounding lack of accountability and transparency by the Ohio Legislature.

Turning a profit’ has turned into an empty promise for our kids.

I predict Ohio politicians will be creating as much distance as they can from these low performing schools.
