The Bloomfield-Hill Patch on a bill which lifts the cap on charter schools throughout the state:
Though Gov. Rick Snyder’s signature is still pending, officials with the Bloomfield Hills Schools were certain Thursday that the measures to lift the cap on charter schools and cyber schools operating in Michigan will become law.
What’s uncertain, and somewhat uncomfortable to think about, is how big of a shift this could be for Michigan’s public education system, Superintendent Rob Glass said.
When you have a system that offers a substandard product which is mandated by government as a monopoly, of course having to compete for education dollars is hard. They now actually have to justify their shitty system, and without a government mandate, that’s not easy to do.
