A lawsuit filed in Maricopa County Superior Court on behalf of several charter schools charges that Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne and the state Board of Education lack the legal authority to force charter schools to align their teaching schedule with the ones imposed on other public schools. Attorney Clint Bolick of the Goldwater Institute, who filed the lawsuit for the schools, said charter schools should be allowed to keep their schedules unimpeded by Horne and the state Board of Education. "When the Legislature created charter schools, they decided that outcome standards were more important than inputs, that diversity was a higher value than homogeneity," he said.
