The employees are in the state benefits system. The only difference is that the charter schools structurally are private 501©(3) non-profits that don’t have public school boards, limiting the opportunity of the broken electoral process to interfere with education and the ability of Nazi groups like “Moms for Liberty” to fuck with them. The only fuckery they have to deal with is funding and the fuckery of the state legislature. I’m going to send my kid to one because I live in a red area full of white supremacist students and teachers, something that is WAY less of an issue at my local charter. For every charter school nightmare story, there’s tons more success stories.
