Pennsylvania’s charter school law is a national disgrace.
It allows charters to defraud the public and provide a substandard education to our children.
Charter school managers pay themselves with taxpayer money for leases on properties they already own. They funnel money through shell companies into their own pockets. Academic achievement at many charters is far below par.
And it’s all legal.
That’s why state Auditor General Eugene DePasquale has long called it the “worst charter school law” in the country. But his call for sweeping reforms from the legislature has fallen on mostly deaf ears.
Until now.
