Seriously? No wonder the results are often horrible. Only the best and brightest (or not)?
Set up your own board and get yourself elected superintendent. Title sounds good and the pay is whatever you can convince the board to pay you. Ohio has probably doubled the number of superintendent positions with the advent of charter schools.
"How then is it that when it comes to the subject of “public” charter schools, Kasich and his friends have different definitions and understandings for terms like educators and superintendents?
Under Ohio law, there are no education or professional requirements for an individual to serve as a public charter school superintendent or principal. None. As Woody Allen might have put it, if 80% of success in life is just showing up, you’ve got a good chance of becoming the top administrator of a charter school just by showing up, with a new start-up school proposal in hand, at the offices of a charter school sponsor.
And yes, governor, let’s say it again: there are absolutely no administrative licensure requirements in charterdom. You don’t even have to be an educator in order to open and become a superintendent of a “public” charter school."
