As I've been saying recently, things are going to be hopping in the charter school arena during this school year. We're going to see more stories about charter schools as well as cries for changes, regulations and legislation. The big question is, where will those cries be coming from, and what will they be asking for?
Here's an early shot across the bow. The Arizona Charter Schools Association sent an email addressed to "Charter School Leaders" about a lawsuit it will be filing next week.
The lawsuit focuses on student equity within Arizona's system of education finance and will seek declaratory relief that the method for financing public education in public schools violates the Arizona Constitution.
