Why Local School Boards Are Targeted for Destruction
A local school board in Florida rejected the application of a for-profit charter operator.
The board said they had had a bad experience with the last charter school, which closed for low performance.
They also knew that this applicant had some problems, financially and academically.
When the Metro Nashville school board rejected the Great Hearts charter because of its inadequate plans to serve the diverse students of the city, the TFA state commissioner went berserk and withheld $3.4 million in state aid from the district.
Corporate reformers hate local school boards because they can’t control them.
In the last election, they spent millions to try to buy

MORNING UPDATE: LISTEN TO DIANE RAVITCH 11-19-12 Diane Ravitch's blog
Diane Ravitch's blog: [image: Click on picture to Listen to Diane Ravitch] Thank You, G.F. Brandenburg by dianerav One of the bloggers I admire most is G.F. Brandenburg.

He has followed her career since she left D.C.; do a search on his site and you will discover an interesting number of blogs about inflated claims in D.C.
