NJ's Charter Closures; Ideology Trumps Kids
In a post today Jersey Jazzman searches for the logic behind the charter closures announced last week. In a follow up post he unveiled the common denominator between the shuttered schools. They have the highest percentages of special ed kids.
This should come as no surprise.
More special needs kids = lower test scores, and nowadays lower test scores = closure.
Pretty simple. Gross, but simple.

This is what happens when you allow ideology to guide your actions. The NJDOE and their cronies have set off on a course, and they're not about to let a bunch of special needs kids get in their way.
