Education Secretary Betsy DeVos appeared this week on Capitol Hill. By Valerie Strauss Valerie Strauss Reporter covering education, foreign affairs Email Bio Follow March 29 at 1:25 PM Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said a number of telling things this week during two days of testimony before Congress about her proposed 2020 department budget.
“The department is reviewing the court’s decision and discussing our options and we will move forward from there.” The charter school movement is nearly 30 years old. It was designed to allow people and organizations to open schools outside of district bureaucracy and to operate with public money. Most states have charter school laws, and many allow the schools to operate with little oversight and accountability.
The North Jersey Record published a five-part series titled, “Millions of your tax dollars have disappeared into NJ’s flawed charter school experiment.” Shortly before she made the comment to Pocan, she had an exchange with DeLauro about the Network for Public Education’s report, which says it is likely that one in four charters funded with federal dollars never opened or opened and then closed for mismanagement, fraud, low enrollment or other reasons. “When you have experimentation you are always going to have schools that don’t make it and that is exactly as what should happen. They should close.
