Add $800,000 per year to its budget for yearly expenses? What school wouldn't go charter?
[See 1 Charter Gets Approval, 1 Must Try Again]
No doubt many readers of Saturday's P & C wonder why Drayton Hall Elementary will get $800,000 more per year when it goes charter. Just think what Fraser Elementary or Edith Frierson Elementary could do with extra bucks in the bank!
Well, Courrege isn't going to explain it for you, probably because she doesn't know the answer. She gets her information from CCSD, after all. Despite continual protests by CCSD administration and School Board alike that they really favor charter schools, CCSD doesn't want you to know.
It's up to you, charter school supporters, to get the word out. CCSD Board Chairman Hillery Douglas is about to make more noises about how Drayton Hall wants to take money from other schools in CCSD.

What McGinley, Meyers and Green don't want to explain is the legislature is the place to correct the inequities of the charter school funding formula. Instead they blame charter schools for something not within their control. The real object of CCSD's contempt is the independence of the charter schools. It must be unnerving to have to watch their success from the sidelines the ones that have been started for the right reasons and active parent participation.
