Charter schools moved into Philadelphia and siphoned money from public schools. The public schools now suffer a $218 million dollar deficit, because the idiots up there allowed charter schools to move in and take funding away from public schools. In both schools where children died from asthma attacks, there was no nurse on duty. Had a nurse be on duty, because the school did indeed have funds, that were there only because charters had been outlawed as illegal…….
Those children would be alive today…..
If we are to have charter schools continue in Delaware, they need to be funded as are vocational schools; with a line item in the state budget. Not by taking money away from public schools….
It is foolish to raise public school’s budgets, and allow charter schools to take whatever excess is granted….. If we need nurses, raise the budgeted amounts…. Just keep those dollars in public schools and don’t let charter schools steal it to pay their exorbitant rents to their landlords…..
Remember…. Charter Schools killed two students in Philadelphia……

Jaques has a bill in to force the state + local to fund nurses in every school, no matter if it is a tiny charter.

Using the law as a weapon
“Hand over your cash, empty your pockets.”
“House Bill 355, which House Education Committee Chair Darryl Scott, D-Dover, plans to file next week, would allow districts to raise their local tax rate by up to 3 percent a year without going to referendum.” NewsJournal 5/23/14
Apparently, Darryl Scott, Democrat., thinks he’s got a right to decide to whom, on what and where, why, when, a person hands over his money. Homeowners pay. What about the inequity of the number of adult wages owners residing per household? What about apartment dwellers – are they forking over as well? What about the people who can’t afford (and don’t) take care of one child and have six, eight, nine – and pay nothing?
Why just discriminate against people who maintain their place to live? (Pay up or hit the streets, granny.) Miss and deadbeat so and so had a ninth child plus those corporate Charter Schools need a sports field, a swimming pool, top draw common core instructors, raises, transportation, nurses, etc. As it stand now, don’t non-school tax payers get to vote to increase a homeowner’s school tax rate? Isn’t that bad enough? Scott’s new law, would eliminate the homeowner’s voice altogether.
Lawmakers wouldn’t discrimination against the rest of the Departments, would they? One imagines they could all use at least a 3% guaranteed yearly increase, if not more.
