The CHARTER Act would ensure that every charter school is in full compliance with the Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965 (ESEA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) by denying federal funds to any charter school that enters into a contract with a for-profit entity to operate, oversee or manage the school. When passed, this Act will close the loophole that profiteers have exploited.
Publicly funded charter schools should not be eligible for funds to save small businesses. They are still amply funded by taxpayers.
The last thing our students and teachers need is to worry about the stress of high-stakes tests. Tell Betsy DeVos to shut down the tests by sending your email.
Call and email your Representative and tell them not to restore funding for the Charter Schools Program that has resulted in a pileup of fraud and waste.
Send your letter and tell the Senate it’s time to investigate the CSP and cut its funding. Let's fund our neediest public schools instead.
