It seems that school district administrators are enabling charter schools to invade public school property without warning to the present school occupants on the East and West coast. Seems the lack of transparency and straight arrogance are the rule of the day by some school districts to bend over backward to support charters over their own public school communities. This is not benign neglect but a systematic attack on public education. The Catalyst Notebook from Chicago points to a San Francisco Bay Guardian article aptly titled Schoolyard Bully where “a charter high school uses legal threats to squeeze into Horace Mann Middle School without notifying parents or teachers” .
Michael Klonsky, the Chicago Education blogger, shares with us the bum rush by a very clouted Charter School that pushes an autism program onto the streets by taking over their space in a public school building in his post titled Arrogance of Power. It seems NY Chancellor Klein and his boss Mayor Bloomberg have no shame on breaking the law and going around it to give high priced benefactors their way. Just think what some folks will do for the the charters and totally neglect the most vulnerable children. What example is that for kids! Sing it Rick “Cold Blooded!”
