Do you see a pattern here?

Subject: I think I see a "pattern"....see if you can! A little oversight of Ohio Charters(schools) Gone Wild!

Kudos to the following Ohio Legislators who are trying to get more badly needed oversight on Ohio's charter schools. Below are listed four bills (three in the Senate/one in the House) and their sponsors and co-sponsors. Public school educators should be thankful for these legislators who are trying to get a handle on the lack of accountability currently exhibited by Ohio's charter schools. The link below each bill will take you to our Ohio Legislative website where you can read each entire bill.
