1 jan 1997 ano - The Pennsylvania state charter law passed

Descrição:

The charter sector in Pennsylvania has long been beset by fraud and a lack of transparency and accountability. In fact, in 2016, the state’s auditor general called the state charter law the “worst” in the nation. Charter schools are funded by the public but are permitted to operate outside of the public school districts in which they operate, sometimes by for-profit entities. Although individual charter schools in Pennsylvania must be set up as nonprofit organizations, there is nothing to prohibit them from being run by for-profit organizations.
