Some traditional school districts will say that this bill will “devastate” them and threaten dire consequences. The facts are that charter schools serve the same students, get better results and do it for significantly less dollars. Imagine what could happen with equal funding.
🏛️ #SB518 is about fairness! Charter schools are public schools, but they don’t get the same local funding. Families pay property taxes, yet those dollars stay with the district they left. Tell your lawmakers: Fund all public school students fairly! 📢
