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.

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.

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