Fulton controversy: Shedding light on the Gulen network of charter schools
The AJC has an interesting story today about the surge in Turkish-run public charter schools, such as the three in Fulton County.
Charter schools are public schools that operate under contractual charters. One of the three Fulton charter schools, the Fulton Science Academy Middle School, will cease to be a charter school at the end of this month and try to continue as a private school in which parents pay tuition.
The school is in the news now because of a highly critical audit of its financial operations released yesterday by the Fulton County district, which is trying to figure out what resources in the charter school belong to the county
