Yesterday I posted a story from the Los Angeles Daily News about a new charter policy that barred charter schools from co-locating in certain public schools.
The headline in the Daily News story, I learned from a well-informed source in L.A., was premature and thus inaccurate.
My informant wrote:
Hi, the headline of the Daily News story was inaccurate. The policy was not adopted. It could not have been adopted because the meeting was a committee meeting, not a board meeting where action items are approved. The policy will be adopted — probably mostly as written — but it hasn’t been adopted yet.

“Overall, we rate the LA Daily News Right-Center biased based on right-leaning editorial positions and High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record.”

“This article first appeared at LASchoolReport.com, a (billionaire funded) nonprofit education news site covering (and propagandizing) Los Angeles schools and California policy.” Diane, I’d have cited the right leaning LA Times instead of the all-out rightwing Daily News for you, but the LA Times was mute on the subject.

They have! It just hasn’t been voted on yet. They will vote yes. Guarantee it.

A first (I think) –
A charter school with multiple locations in Cincinnati (Dohn Community School) was the subject of the city’s police chief’s anger expressed at a city council meeting. Several violent incidents in downtown involving young people provoked the topic. The police chief singled Dohn out as being uncooperative in helping to stop the violence.
Dohn was originally founded as an addiction recovery center for high school students.
Different credentialing for administrators and a different process of board selection (no voting by taxpayers/residents as required by public schools in the suburbs) may have served the purpose of privatizers like Fordham but, the consequences are felt by the community.
