You shouldn’t blame this one on charter schools alone.

It is sad that the state police were forced to take care of this because the local education agency didn’t care.

Some bad actors here, but this doesn’t appear to be a charter school, apparently a virtual on contract to the district. And the superintendent seems to be in cahoots.
