   I am happy that minority communities are catching on the hidden agenda of so called choice systems. Most “choice” systems are about disenfranchising communities of color, eliminating local democratic control over schools, and making a profit by establishing separate and unequal schools.

   “Here’s one reason why they may remain silent on this issue: Charter schools, which are meant to provide options to parents in districts with poor proficiency scores, have even worse performance index scores than the bottom 5 percent of districts.

   According to the current list of “challenged school districts” put out by the Ohio Department of Education (the list was frozen after the 2013-2014 school year as Ohio transitions to its A-F report card), there are 24 districts that qualified then for charter schools under the performance index performance criterion. There are an additional 15 that qualify because they were part of the original pilot program (Lucas County schools) or are a big 8 urban district (Akron, Canton, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Toledo and Youngstown).

   The median performance index score for those 24 “challenged school districts” was 83.058 (out of 120 possible) in 2013-2014. Do you know how many charter schools outperformed that score on the last report card? If you guessed 23, you’d be right.

   That’s 23 out of 265 charters that had performance index scores recorded by the state — a staggeringly low 9 percent of Ohio charter schools. ”

   So WHY are Ohio lawmakers abandoning public schools and spending session after session on charter schools?

   It isn’t performance. So what is it? Lobbyists? Capture? Ideology?

   They are HARMING public schools that are performing better and promoting schools that underperform and this has been going on for 20 years.

   We have to elect new people. Clean house. It isn’t just that public schools will stay the same- public schools will get worse. They’re actively doing damage to the system that exists in order to replace it with a WORSE system.

   It’s nuts. They have to be stopped.
