CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE KINDA MAGA



CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE KINDA MAGA

Over 800 Philadelphia families applied for seats at Franklin Towne Charter High School, but some had no chance at all. An executive at the school has said that this year's lottery was fixed, with students from certain zip codes shut out, and others eliminated because of academic or behavioral problems. Some children were also excluded because the school's chief executive didn't want to take anyone from a particular charter elementary school, in the event he might have to pay for their transportation. The allegations are being investigated by the school and the Philadelphia School District's charter schools office.
