I'm not particularly involved in the whole 'charter schools' discussion, but at this juncture, I have to ask what level of financial transparency applies to these 'institutions'?

'Charter schools' seem to require infusions of large amounts of public cash, rather than rely upon raising their own revenues. How is that any improvement upon public schools? It seems to me that it is just another way to divert vast amounts of public monies through the hands of fewer select individuals than did the public school financial administration and a LOT less oversight.

The result is that corruption is even greater. Whoa...big surprise. (NOT!)
