- Tis the season, apparently, for reinvention in Ohio’s charter school sector. One such reinvention has made big news (you know the one I’m talking about), but another has occurred under the radar until now. The Ohio Council of Community Schools has quietly split from its longtime charter school sponsorship partner the University of Toledo. This comes in the wake of a poor sponsor evaluation for the duo which could have presaged an end to their authority to sponsor schools. As a result of the breakup, OCCS “succeeded” the partnership and has become a solo sponsor – a “new” sponsor in fact. Thus shedding the previous poor evaluation results and restarting the clock for future evaluations and any consequences thereunto. (Cleveland Plain Dealer, 8/28/17)
- Charita Goshay opined today in the Canton Rep on the topic of charter school suckitude. No word on what she thinks about allowing dogs on restaurant patios, but props to her and the Rep for the clickbait based upon that topic. (Canton Repository, 8/30/17)
- A columnist in Pennsylvania opined today against Dayton City Schools’ new, lower GPA threshold for sports eligibility. Quite vehemently. So much so that I imagine his outrage could be heard 320 miles away in Dayton. (Tribune Democrat, Johnstown PA, 8/30/17)
