Trumpets Please: Connecticut’s Corporate Giants Know the Way Forward on Education Reform - Wait, What?

Trumpets Please: Connecticut’s Corporate Giants Know the Way Forward on Education Reform - Wait, What?: "When asked about charter schools, Vermont’s Deputy Secretary of Education said she did not support charter schools saying “No I don’t think we need them…The state’s longtime tradition of allowing public funding to flow to private, non-religious schools when a community does not have a public school …provides enough flexibility.”

Considering Connecticut’s biggest corporate executives are determined to see their policies adopted, no matter how wrong that are, it will be interesting to see if the new Executive Director of the Connecticut Council for Education Reform reverses herself and joins the call for charter schools or if she is able to sit down with her organization’s members and explain why shifting scarce public resources from district schools to charter schools is not the solution for closing Connecticut’s achievement gap."
