“Public school choice in PA has been used as a political football by members of both parties. We cannot continue to allow politics to get in the way of providing students the skills they need to become future leaders." - @ReeseFlurie, @CommCharterAcad buckscountycouriertimes.com/…

We understand that @SDPHite and Ms Wilkerson are entitled to their opinions (which shouldn’t be confused with actual facts) and so is @PhillyInquirer’s editorial board, but a fair and balanced news outlet would have provided their readers with the charter community’s perspective.

In no way do any of the 4 charter reform bills currently being discussed by the General Assembly allow for unfettered growth of charter schools.

Philly parents support high-quality charter schools (philly.com/news/charter-scho…). Perhaps if their school board members were selected via popular vote, rather than appointed by the @PhillyMayor, the @PHLschoolboard would share the same values of their constituents. #PHLed

Replying to @newskag
First, thank you @newskag for your thorough coverage of the @PHLschoolboard meetings! It is unfortunate that the chair of the Philly School Board (which authorize the largest group of public charter schools) is so uneducated about #HB356 and #HB357.

The district in Penn Hills where I grew up was denounced by the Auditor General for fiscal irresponsibility, meanwhile was denying charter applications. We need an independent authorization process. ⁦@Lennymcallister⁩
