Parents Protest Ohio Governor's Plan to Stop Charter School Growth

http://www.daytondailynews.com/n/content/oh/story/news/local/2007/04/18/ddn041907charter.html

Last week over 600 charter school students, parents and supporters rallied in Dayton to tell state leaders why they favor charter schools. Many who attended wore T-shirts with messages like "I love my charter school," and hoisted handmade signs that read "save our schools." The rally was organized by Parents Advancing Choice in Education and the local chapter of the Black Alliance for Education Options. Governor Ted Strickland's recent budget proposal calls for forbidding management companies from operating charters in Ohio and capping the growth of new charters. Speaking from the grounds of Dayton View Academy, a seven-year-old charter school, run by Edison Schools, Ohio House Speaker Jon Husted said the governor's proposal "would close the school we're standing in right now. It would essentially close down choice and competition in Ohio."
