From a Times Union article about the district losing millions to charter schools and cutting positions: Board member Scott Shine expressed concerns about what happens
if charter school enrollment continues to grow.
“This is not a sustainable long-term plan,” Shine said. He
suggested trying to craft a three-to-five year range plan to best handle the
upward trend in charter schools.
Um where was his three to five year plan when he was accepting money from charter school operators and thier friends or saying at last summers JPEF school board forum that the district needed more charter schools?
Now he's pretending to care? That makes him at best ignorant though I think it is more likely he is complicit because at this pace in three to five years there won't be much of a district left.
My take is that these politicians are feeling nervous as the formerly checked out parents in this district and statewide are finally starting to wake up to the facts. So they'll make a lot of concerned noises and the parents will go back to sleep so they can keep shoveling money into corporate coffers.
ReplyDeleteThat's not true. Now, go to sleep. I'll see you in the morning.
