Ohio's Charters Failing At An Alarming Rate

The Columbus Dispatch found that Ohio's charter schools are failing:

.... 17 charter schools in Columbus closed in one year, which records show is unprecedented....

....A Dispatch analysis of state data found that 29 percent of Ohio’s charter schools have shut, dating to 1997 when the publicly funded but often privately run schools became legal in Ohio. Nearly 400 currently are operating, about 75 of them in Columbus....

....Since 2000, when the state auditor began auditing charter-school finances, 110 schools have been found to have misspent a total of $22.6 million. Many of them are closed....

As long as Kasich and the Ohio GOP continue to protect the charter schools, they will continue to fail and lose taxpayer money.
