A group of parents in Philadelphia who are concerned about the troubled relationship public charter schools have had with the school district have created Parents Unified for Charter Schools. The city-wide group is designed to improve communication among parents and help build bridges with district officials, public charter schools and public charter families. Founding member Karen Lash said she has grown tired of feeling like the "neglected stepchild" since her two sons attend a local public charter school. "I think recently the feeling was we were getting beat up a bit, becoming sort of a target,” she said. She hopes the group can help push improvements for the entire education system. "It's still public education," she noted. "I'm pro-child."
