Heads of Lowest Performing Texas Charter Schools Among Highest Paid

Three charter school superintendents who are among the highest paid in Texas are overseeing some of the lowest-performing districts in the state, newly released records show. One of them is at risk of closure by school year's end.

No shocker there at all. Charter schools are a money grab for most. It's amazing how many close every year and then public schools have to absorb the pupils without funding for them.

I am sorry but government funding for Charter schools needs to just go away.

Blue cities are graduating people from high school who can't read and do math on a 5th grade level and this is the hill you choose to die on? The kids I'm referring to cant even be given an exit exam because it's "racist".

There should be consequences for lying about their compensation.

Also, I hope there is massive accountability for them.

Now....let's have some fun.

what does accountablility look like to those of you who care?

Let's get past the pearl clutching about the salaries.....which are absurd, to be sure.

and let's not drag trump into this nor the national guard.

seriously.....what should happen here?

Corporate death penalty; never allow them to hold an executive position in the industry again.

What you got?

An idea turns into a movement. The movement turns into a business. The business becomes corrupt. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Nobody is going to be held liable because the next guy is going to do the same thing.

okay...but that's a penalty for the person who accepted the salary.

what about who signed the check? They are the ones who've really committed the crime.

Who approved these salaries? Who lied about the compensation?

Try not to cry too much as I ask this question....I'm not that familiar with charter schools. There aren't really much around me. We have public and private.

I googled them and read up a little....but that's about it.

And remember I'm a father of 3 kids....so if you're not a parent.....don't even think about talking down to me.

Now that we've fired the superintendent......we have to hire another one? Get rid of these POS schools if they are going to perform so poorly?

Charter schools are a "poor mans" version of a private school....is that fair to say?

It's publically funded. Not religious but it's an alternative for parents who hate their local public system.......right?

not sure how you could do that and make it enforceable.

not that you can really put any thought into it.

It's just easier to be a hysteric nobody takes seriously.

Children becoming less educated, a handful of people profiting. Charter schools doing exactly as intended.

"not sure how you could do that and make it enforceable."

I like how instead of offering any ideas at all, yours or ones you borrowed from AEI and Heritage Foundation, you just pooh-pooh other people's ideas.

It shows how committed you are up having a serious dialogue about what might be a remedy for this problem.

You're doing what Republicans always do:
1. Identify a problem
2. Thoughts And Prayers
3. Nothing Can Be Done
