What about the current embrolgio with SRC Chair Robert Archie, Associate Superintendent Leroy Nunnery, State Rep. Dwight Evans about the $50 million dollar deal to turn MLK High School into a charter that fell through? SRC Chair Robert Archie had to recuse himself from the vote because his law firm was representing Foundations, Inc. which as a parent company to Mosaic in Atlanta, GA who backed out of the deal? A five-year deal for $50 million dollars! Superintendent Ackerman knew nothing about this until after SRC Chairman informed her.
I remember when she first arrived and declared, "Adults MUST be held accountable." What about the New Media Charter which was supposed to teach children state of the art technology, web design, digital video etc. that had hardly a computer ad over $500,000 is unaccounted for? SRC Chair Robert Archie's wife was chair of that Charter School Board until the end of 2009. The top of the cap is Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, who got the State Standardized Test Scores this week. His charter/voucher school did a lot worse than WI public schools, so he is going to expand his Carter/Voucher schools plan, with the caveat they be exempt from Standardized State Testing. Only WI public schools will be obligated to take the tests, even though Charters/Vouchers are subsidized with US taxpayers money. They need to declare this school reform corporate/business thing is not working. In PA alone from 1996-2007 the research data show Charter school did not out perform Philadelphia Public Schools. Nationwide only 17% of Charters since 1994 have out done public school districts even though we share our budget with them, have less money and resources, take students they "counsel out" and do not get the private and corporate contributions Charters receive. Consider this.
