After suing three charter schools, Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann has announced plans to sue more in an attempt to shut them down. Dann accuses the schools that by failing to adequately educate their students they violate laws that govern charitable trusts in Ohio. Dann's strategy of using charitable-trust laws remains controversial and unproven in court. The Ohio Alliance for Public Charter Schools has created a legal defense fund to try to persuade courts to reject Dann's approach. "The issue for us is that the attorney general is using this charitable-trust device, which we think there's no basis in law for," said William Sims, president of the Ohio Alliance. "If he were to succeed in this, it means the attorney general could subjectively decide to sue whatever school he wants to shut down."
