    I'm intrigued by this idea.  I wonder what such a conversion would actually entail.

    Districts have budgets, debt, contracts, transporation, and neighborhood connections that make them districts. It is absurd to think that 51% of parents in any school could undue every other commitment to a school and community. This is why we have locally elected school boards. Please stop taking authority away from local school boards and communities.

    If turning a public school in a charter school would have a clear effect on improving education skills for kids in a certain area then I am definitely in favor of this bill. I do hope it will serve it's purpose otherwise we risk making an effort for nothing.
