  1. While the theory of charter schools is good, too often they are just a naked grift by the founders to collect a nice check while employing friends and family. Unbelievable that this school hasn’t had its charter revoked.

  2. Charters are funded with public money, so why are they allowed to deny access to a reporter?

    Charters don’t feel they must abide by open records or open meetings laws. Voters cannot vote for their board members or see their school budgets, let alone comment on them. Board meetings are not announced to the public.

    They are private schools disguised as public schools, but they are privately managed. Charters should be accessible and accountable to ALL taxpayers – not just the parents whose children are enrolled there. If they’re hiding from reporters, that’s a huge red flag.

  3. No charter with a single-digit proficiency rate should be able to just re-brand themselves and get a new contract. The Indiana Department of Education should do a better job spending taxpayer money.
