[quote=Anonymous]I volunteered at Crossways ages ago, so I was a bit shocked to read that they were characterized as “shady.” If you look at their publicly available financials, it seems like they are bringing in less money than they need to operate their programs. It also looks like their program costs are relatively modest. What a lot of people don’t realize about charter funding is that school districts pay the average marginal cost of educating students. A lot of the overhead of running a school or school system is not part of the public funding. Successful charters have big corporate sponsors and/or administrators who are excellent at making grant applications and running fundraising operations. I don’t doubt that some aspects of quality suffered under financial strain. That said, I am not seeing evidence of malfeasance.[/quote]
