Chartering a Course for Disaster 0
The Charlotte Observer reports on lack of accountability, a hallmark of the privatization scam.
Charters can keep salaries of supervisors, academic consultants, back-office staff – sometimes even school administrators – secret and still abide by North Carolina’s public records law despite being funded by tax dollars. These positions are often considered employees of the management company instead of the school, and therefore not subject to disclosure.
Not only do they get public money to provide a public service, they don’t have to tell the public where that money goes. As Atrios would say, it’s all about the grift.
“All about the grift”–there’s a brand for North Carolina.
