Rutledge said Charter is “quite optimistic” about the use of CBRS spectrum and dual SIM technology and “the ability to make select investments in areas where traffic dictates in such a way as to move services that we pay rent for onto our own platform, and that opportunity already exists with Wi-Fi.” // also 276k net adds

Warren’s plan is “pretty awful,” writes Checker Finn on Education Next. “It would reverse most of the major education reforms of recent decades, drive a stake through the heart of what’s left of bipartisan federal and state policy, and re-enshrine adult interests, especially those of the teachers unions, in place of children’s, while wasting immense sums of taxpayer dollars.”

Even so, charter school teachers typically have to work around 210 days per year, while public school teachers work about 180.

On the overall benefit of Charter schools around the country.

A Perspective
Many broad-minded educators I know are not against charter schools per se and think they can be done right. I am not one of them. Even a wonderful privatized school is diminishing the education provided to the overwhelming majority of students educated by tax dollars. If the extra costs of running a dual system are not provided by the taxpayer, it is unjust to finance those private schools by reducing the quality of public schools.

I join with the NAACP’s call for a moratorium on charter schools until:

“Charter schools are subject to the same transparency and accountability standards as public schools.
“Public funds are not diverted to charter schools at the expense of the public school system.
“Charter schools cease expelling students that public schools have a duty to educate.
“Charter schools cease to perpetuate de facto segregation of the highest performing children from those whose aspirations may be high but whose talents are not yet as obvious.”

Just two taxpayer-funded schools serve the quaint town of Sausalito, California. There's a charter school where a plurality of the students are white, and a traditional district school where almost no one is.

That's no accident, according to California's attorney general, who alleges the school district knowingly created and maintained a segregated school, and starved it of funding needed for basic necessities while funneling extra money to the charter school.

On Friday, the Sausalito Marin City School District agreed to a settlement that orders officials to unravel the segregation, compensate graduates who were harmed by it and build a more equitable system. If the district fails, the charter school might lose its Sausalito campus.

"Every child - no matter their stripe or stature - deserves equal access to a quality education," California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said in a statement. "That's what we say, what we believe, and what's required under the law. But what we say isn't always what we do. Certainly, it's not what the Sausalito Marin City School District did when it chose to segregate its students."
