[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this whole thing seems dumb. just people who hate charter schools trying to come up with a reason to trash them. [/quote] That’s pretty simplistic. I don’t hate charters. My kids go to one. But I’m all for increasing transparency and I haven’t heard any persuasive reasons for not opening board meetings and subjecting charters to FOIA. The objections sound to me like general resistance to regulation by the PCSB, and I think it’s reasonable for parents and teachers to question that.[/quote] Because so many parents and teachers are yearning to FOIA charters. [/quote] I agree that there will not be a flood of requests. But that means it won’t be burdensome, so why oppose it? And there’s no reason board meetings shouldn’t be open. Organizations are going to be more accountable to the public when their decision making isn’t private.[/quote]
