Judge Tells North Carolina District to Pay $1.3 Million to Five Charter Schools

http://www.charlotte.com/local/story/451687.html

Last week, a judge ruled that the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School System had shortchanged public charter schools and that it must pay almost $1.3 million to five of them. "They've looked for ways to hoard as much as possible and give as little as possible to the charter schools," said former Charlotte mayor Richard Vinroot, a board member of Sugar Creek Charter School, which was named in the ruling. The dispute concerns whether all local public school students are required to get an equal share of county money for public education, whether they attend district or charter schools.
