It is a tax dodge

Los Angeles is ground zero for the interpretation of California’s new charter schools law
With the upcoming school year already upended by the coronavirus pandemic, charter schools in Los Angeles are facing more uncertainty as they comply with a new state law.

California’s new law imposing greater restrictions on charter schools, which took effect last month, faces pushback from charter schools in the district that’s home to the largest number of charter schools in the state. At issue is a draft of a new 80-page policy detailing how Los Angeles Unified plans to implement the law. The policy will be in front of the school board for a vote on Tuesday.

Recent history has converted public schools into full service welfare agencies for kids.  The parents get booted from the process, but a chart school gets 53% funding and allows the parents back in.  That is a better deal than the public schools.

This is where the American and Franciscan ideals of Law conflict.  Call it the shadow education market emerging, but emerging faster due to covid.  Teachers unions trying o coral the parent/taxpayedr is not a pleasant battle.
