The charter industry is putting an enormous amounts of money behind killing charter school legislation that will increase accountability and rein in the excess funding charters receive. We don’t need millions of dollars to win this fight, but we do need to show state lawmakers that their constituents want them to support charter school reform.

End overpayments to cyber charter schools.
