“If those monies are going to charter schools that are serving a
completely different need than public schools then that is a good
thing. (But) if they are
essentially doing the same thing as public schools are, I find that to
be a waste of taxpayers’ dollars. I want to make sure that we are
focusing on meeting additional needs rather than doing the same thing.”~ Fl Sen Jeff Clemens
Senator Clemens wants to tighten charter school focus with Senate bill SB 452 which has yet to be assigned to any committees. Clemens said if it fails to gain any traction he will try to amend the language onto a bill addressing charter school accountability. We agree with him on this one.
