Re: “Stacking the Odds in Favor of Charter Schools”
Dear Ben Joravsky;
There is another kind of charter that takes high school students that public schools won't take. YCCS charter has a number of small high schools that take such students. There are also charters or contract schools that take special needs students that CPS public doesn't want. While Noble Street's fining of families is well known as a charter strategy to eliminate difficult students & families, please lay out the diversity of charters and those that are not like Noble Street but take students and families ejected by both CPS and other charters.
