I am concerned about the lack of security for Charter Schools teachers. Most are first year teachers, and willing to work without any future tenure. Will that change? We know that experienced teachers are necessary to a fully functioning school. I have already seen a large turnover in teachers in this area. Some come from closing religious schools where they had few if any benefits. Why have so few Charter Schools unionized teacher groups? Do cheaper teachers succeed as a substitute for experienced teachers? Does a longer school day and longer school year best serve the students or their working parents? Lee Tetkowski
