Reviewer Comments:
Whether you are against or for charters this bill is harmful as it provides another layer of bureaucracy which will further restrict Charter’s current freedom bringing them a step closer to the public school model, while also making it harder to remove charters from the system as municipalities will claim dependency on the money.
