Vouchers to use in private corporate “Charter Schools”

Voucher bill slated for Senate vote

In Coatesville you don’t “follow the money” you follow the people. There are certain people who I believe are only involved in enterprises that offer opportunities to steal. And there are several former Coatesville officials who are or have been involved in charter schools.

There are well meaning people that think charter schools are an opportunity for students and in some cases this is true. But I think the primary momentum behind charter schools is in the opportunity to steal tax payer money. 

Charter Schools are private corporations using tax payer money. But they are accountable to their board of directors. We are contemplating throwing tax payer money into the closed and darkened back rooms of Charter Schools.

Many of us are angry at giving Billions of tax payer dollars to investment bankers who operate in a grey area between legality and organized crime. I believe there are many charter schools that operate in a grey area between legality and organized crime where parents and students loose and criminality wins.
