Friday Facts (Charter Schools)

With all the debate going on about the upcoming Charter School amendment, I wanted to present some information here for you to review. Just a note: I am not against the charter school amendment, I'm actually for it. I'm against a portion of the law that goes into effect when the amendment passes. It does not allow for true transparency or representation on the board that would do the charter school approvals. At any rate, for your review..
