[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have much looser teacher licensing requirements.

They are also exempt from FOIA.  Not a good thing in my view[/quote]

I don’t believe they are exempt from FOIA. [/quote]

PCSB itself is subject to FOIA, as a quasi-public agency (board appointed by Mayor and approved by Council).

The charter schools themselves are not subject to FOIA, but are subject to significant oversight and reporting requirements by PCSB.[/quote]

Trust me it's pretty easy to fire teachers at DCPS these ways, considering the more diverse ways you can now get a teacher's license it bothers me a lot that you don't need a license to teach in a charter. 
and this were it states they don't need a license!

None of this says anything about charters and FOIA.

And the notion of allowing charters to hire highly qualified teachers (as defined by the government) even if they don't have a teacher's license - is a feature, not a bug of charters. Teachers also don't get tenure at charter schools, and can be fired more easily.[/quote][/quote]

Then don't send your child to one.[/quote]
