[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Worth a read if, whether you in the charter system or not, it seems like everyone would benefit from these changes.

"D.C.’s charter school transparency policies fall short of nationwide state-level standards:Thirty nine states require charter school operators or schools to comply with open meetings and public records laws. D.C. doesn’t."

Rough guess -- at least 75% of DC charter schools have no concerns about increased transparency.  I say that from having spent 9 years in a senior position at a DC charter school and interacting with peers across the city.  The opposers are small in number but vocal.  Pressure PCSB.  Increased transparency serves everyone, the schools included.[/quote]

Pressure the Council too. PCSB just put our some new transparency regs -- and went back to the drawing board because of feedback that didn't think they went far enough. I think the comments are open on the new ones; so far open meetings are not required.

It takes Council action to make FOIA applicable to charters - the PCSB can't mandate that one[/quote]
