The recent report by In the Public Interest, an organization closely tied to the California Teachers Association and labor groups, is the latest attempt by CTA to not only stop charters from growing, but to shut down even the most effective schools.
The report follows the language of current Senate Bill 808, which would allow districts to close any charter that is deemed an imposition on the district’s fiscal program.
Not only would this violate the state Charter Schools Act, it would also enable districts across California to close charter schools with no consideration of their impact on student learning.
