Asheville City Schools have been ordered to pay three local charter schools a total of $791,000 for disputed funds. So what? The litigation remains unsettled over a number of matters. It was believed the public schools should have shared funds with the charter schools as long ago as 2006. An attorney representing Asheville Schools and Rutherford County Schools, which is involved in similar litigation, says $315,000 of the sum went to preschool children. Since charter schools don’t have preschools, they don’t deserve any of that. The question of retroactively paying schools with funds they did not receive as the courts seem to believe they should have, “troubled” the court. In the end, everybody is selflessly fighting for the chi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ildren.
