Here’s proof various anti-public education groups pushing @GovBillLee’s privatization agenda grabbing taxpayer dollars from public schools are highly coordinated— They applied jointly for a big award 👇🏽🤔 💰 FLASHBACK: Here’s one running away from us —> x.com/thetnholler/st…

Great news from Supreme Court. It leaves in tact a lower court holding that charter schools are state actors and, thus, must comply with the US Constitution. This is devastating news for those who think states can authorize religious charter schools. reuters.com/legal/us-supre…
Maury County mayor: Charter school operator tries to sidestep ban on Common Core | Opinion tennessean.com/story/opinion/… via @Tennessean @chazmolder @ProEdTN
It's odd that RuCo Mayor Joe Carr, a long-time opponent of Common Core, invited Core-using Hillsdale to Rutherford - And that invitation will cost taxpayers $7 million a year: medium.com/age-of-awarene…

Well said: “You can’t say you’re against Common Core, but for Core Knowledge,” said JC Bowman, Executive Director of Professional Educators of Tennessee. “They’re both ideologically from the same place. They’re very interconnected.” tennesseelookout.com/2023/05/16/hil…

Must-read op-ed by @vanderbiltlaw scholar @Joni_Hersch: “[C]harter schools have largely failed to provide the anticipated educational benefits and have discriminated against students, exacerbated racial segregation and been party to financial crimes.” tennessean.com/story/opinion/…
As Rutherford County Faces Budget Deficit, School Board Grants Tax Money to Hillsdale Charter School tnedreport.com/2023/04/as-rut…
Maury County students, parents, teachers, and taxpayers should be offended that @WKRN aired this absurd story while letting the actual plagiarizers — @Hillsdale and American Classical Academy (ACA) — get off scot-free. Consider this🧵… 1/ wkrn.com/news/local-new…
Students, parents, teachers and taxpayers in @JMCSchools should be proud. This is Superintendent and School Board leadership in action ⬇️

Five proposed charter schools affiliated with controversial Michigan-based Hillsdale College would drain more than $17 million from Tennessee suburban and rural public schools during their first year of operation and $35 million at maximum enrollment theeducationreport.substack.com/p/hillsdales-3…
We appreciate TN’s best edu-news outlet detailing the facts about the negative fiscal impact of charter schools. Unlike @ChalkbeatTN, the @TNEdReport isn’t funded by charter special interests and tells the truth about how these low-performing privately run schools drain tax $$$.

Happening Now: Our charter school ad hoc committee is having a Lunch & Learn hearing from Dr. Donna Wright on the fiscal impact of charter schools on a community. Dr. Wright spent 42 years as a teacher, administrator, and superintendent in Tennessee. Thank you, Dr. Wright!
