Recently, State Board of Education chairman, Bill Harrison, trashed charter school during testimony before the NC Senate Education Committee. That is nothing new. But his claims to have actually visited charter schools have come under scrutiny by charter school advocates.

Matt Mittan reports,

UPDATE: As of June 16, 2010, OVER 90% of ALL Charter Schools in the state have been contacted… STILL…. NONE have ever had Chairman Harrison visit their school… INCLUDING the Charter School in his HOME county AND the one at the center of a legal battle with the State Board of Education!)
