Massachusetts charter school conflict, it's all about the money


Massachusetts charter school conflict, it's all about the money:

"The debate continues between Gloucester and the State of Massachusetts over the Gloucester Community Arts Charter School. This debate began the moment that the charter school's application became public and will not end until the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education makes a final decision on revoking the charter they granted back May 7,2009.

On Saturday the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education held a special meeting to determine if they should revoke the charter and if so, exactly what basis they needed. This is not simple because of the laws that are in place to protect charter schools from losing their charter."
