Hi Sheri, Pete, Garrett, and Sheldon,I hope that you’re all doing well. Would you be willing to share this op-ed from the PO with your email groups? Alloway has co-sponsored charter school legislation that would allow a university to authorize a charter school, that would then be able to set up shop in our community and send us the bill. Brick-and-mortar charter schools would not need the approval of local taxpayers or school boards and they would be opening in Franklin County in no time if this legislation passes.If this charter school legislation passes, it will be the end of any child in Franklin County having a chance to go to a good traditional public school. It will also mean never ending property tax increases as taxpayer fund even more schools.The charter lobby, which has funded Corbett’s campaign, wants to get this through because they know their time is running out. Would you please ask people to call Alloway’s office and just say, “Oppose Senate Bill 1085. We can’t afford to pay for charter schools that are authorized by a private entity that isn’t even in our community.” His phone number is 264-6100. Please share far and wide.Thank you!Susan
