Brooks continues attack on Charter Schools

APS Supt Winston Brooks continued his attack on Charter Schools Monday when he asked the Government Restructuring Task Force to recommend a moratorium on the creation of any new Charter Schools.

Brooks loathing for the Charters is no secret, link.

The math is straightforward; the more successful Charter Schools are, the more incompetent APS looks in comparison, and there are some hugely successful Charters.

Brooks professes concern over the cost of housing of the Charter Schools. At the same time, he is yet to explain the disconnect between APS' intention to pay $11.3M to buy a facility for a Performing Arts Charter, while at the same time looking at closing Del Norte High School for lack of enrollment.

Didn't they just build a new school over at Del Norte? Some sort of in house charter?
