Larry Lee has been following the saga of the Gulen charter that plans to open in a rural county in Alabama.
In this post, he notes that the Texas State Board of Education turned down the same charter leader that Alabama’s charter commission approved.
He wonders what led a bipartisan majority in Texas to reject the charter application.
Texas has many Gulen charters. Why did they reject this one?

Lee wrote that Tarim testified about why he had claimed that 6 Austin public schools were failing when the TEA said they were not. Tarim’s reported reply was that he used his own grading system.
Tarim is a Fellow of the Gates-funded Pahara Institute.
