Absolute power and lack of transparency are NOT perfect together. Charter school evaluations are not shared with the public, nor are their profit/loss statements.

We all want the best possible results for our children and an education system that works for all students. Now is the time to put a temporary hold on increasing charter enrollments and study what is working and what needs improvement.
Call Sen Teresa M Ruiz (D) (973) 484-1000 and Assemblyman Patrick J. Diegnan Jr. (D) (908) 757-1677 and urge them to Post A4351/S2887 (Charter School Moratorium Bill) It’s time we learned the truth about where our tax dollars are going! If you’re the silent type you can take action an send email at http://aftnj.org/topics/news/k-12/2015/take-action-lets-get-the-facts-on-charter-schools/
Enjoy the Holidays and Make Sure our Elected Representatives here from you over the Holidays too!!
