  1. “Joel Hand, general counsel and lobbyist for the Indiana Coalition for Public Education, argues that since property taxes come from the community, they should be used to sustain traditional districts that voters control through elected school boards.”

    That’s the whole issue right there. Charter schools are not controlled through elected school boards. They are controlled by a board of directors, that we’ve seen throughout the state, often care more about lining their own pockets than providing a quality education [https://www.ibj.com/articles/damning-audit-finds-two-virtual-schools-misspent-85m-in-state-funds] [https://www.forbes.com/sites/petergreene/2019/12/10/new-report-charter-fraud-and-waste-worse-than-we-thought/?sh=79142d257a22].
    Now they want more of our tax dollars to build their wealth.

    Follow the money. Look at where donations to IPS School Board candidates went and where it came from. These “Not-for-profits” sure can spend a lot of money to get their way. This is a dangerous trend that ends with no more guaranteed public education for our children.
