Ohio Attorney Sues Charter Schools

http://www.columbusdispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2007/09/13/chsuit.ART_ART_09-13-07_A1_KF7SSIS.html?sid=101

Ohio's Attorney General Marc Dann has sued two Dayton charter schools, saying they have consistently failed to meet academic standards. He vows to take similar legal action against other charters across Ohio that fail to meet state academic and financial standards, but does not wish to shut down all 311 of the state's charter schools. Republican House Speaker Jon Husted says Dann is overstepping his authority as attorney general. Some charter advocates see the move as an attempt to circumvent state law, which requires that charter schools rated in the lowest state category for three straight years must close.
