JLF’s Terry Stoops has posted at sister blog The Locker Room the move made today by the State Board of Education to prevent the expansion of a successful public charter school in Pamlico County. This move is as anti-parent as you can get. The school is in demand. And that’s what has Big Education worried. Shame on those who voted to do this. I’m waiting to see how Lt. Gov. Dan Forest takes to this anti-choice board. Here is part of Stoops’ blog. Read the entire blog here.

The State Board of Education denied a grade expansion request from Arapahoe Charter School.  This is the introduction of an arbirary, de facto cap on charter schools deemed to have obtained an excessive market share in a county.

Pity the parents and kids who are being prevented from taking a seat in the school of their choice.
