We’ve seen what has happened in other states who have expanded charters. Charters siphon funds from our already-strapped public schools often cherry pick students, expel students and fail to outperform true public schools. They have recently proven to be a favorite mechanism for those who seek to privatize public schools and a cash cow for those who seek to profit from it. There have also been a large number of scandals in charter schools across the country. Urge legislators to support the public schools we have!
