Union run government school districts hate charter schools. One hint.
Under the provisions of charter schools, the teachers are allowed to vote on whether to join a union or not. Teachers in charter schools have voted 98% NOT to join a union.
Given a choice, teachers will not pay bribes to work. So, the unions, to stop the bleeding, are trying to roll back charter schools in operation.
"The ability to get a suitable facility in a predictable time frame continues to pose the biggest obstacle to the growth of charter schools in California and an impediment to their high achievement. For many school districts, the requirement to provide those facilities can be a big headache.
Proposition 39, passed in 2000, implemented in 2003 and clarified by regulations two years ago, was supposed to solve charters buildings problems. It requires that districts provide charter schools with facilities serving all students from the district that are reasonably equivalent to other district schools.
But conflicts remain, and there has been more lawsuits over Prop 39 than over all other charter-related legal issues combined, says Eric Premack, founder and director of the Charter Schools Development Center in Sacramento."
As parents, grand parents, members of society, we need to stop this corruption of the law by unions. Until we do, our children will be harmed, teachers violated and humanity demeaned.
