Ep. 7 | A Different Set of Rules: Looking at the Financial and Academic Impact of Charter Schools


Listen Later

Join Prep Hour and former public school administrator, Jim Hall, as we discuss a myriad of topics ranging from charter school funding, academics, environment, and demographics.

"I noticed that [a] charter organization was having a board meeting ... so I decided to attend. I started this organization largely because of an incident that occurred when I attended the board meeting. The Board President demanded to know my name – I repeated over and over that I was a member of the public and did not have to give my name. At the end of the meeting, a senior member of the company that manages the charter schools demanded my name in the hallway outside the meeting room. I refused and she pulled out her phone and took my picture saying “I’m taking your picture in case there are problems in the future”. I was completely shocked at this display of arrogance. Arizonans for Charter School Accountability was born the next day." --Jim Hall, AZCSA
