There is a proposal for a virtual charter school by a front non-profit group called Virtual Learning Systems. They have targeted 18 school districts in the western suburbs of Illinois. They gave sales presentations to the 18 Boards of Education that were inept. They couldn't answer about 80% of the questions asked. And worse, if they had any pride they would have taken the questions asked of the first boards that held hearings to prepare for subsequent hearings. But they were just as unprepared for those hearings too. Why prepare if you don't respect the people or Boards of Education in those communities? You don't have to give a good sales pitch if you already have the decision in the bag with the Illinois Charter School Commission headed by Richmond.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03893420316878343004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041287977169808397.post-24524148735241062232012-08-01T09:25:40.812-04:002012-08-01T09:25:40.812-04:00Thank you for writing about this.

Here in Illinois, there's very little awareness, and whenever I write or talk about it, I see the suppressed yawns.Learhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05053574139373063271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041287977169808397.post-13305849698094303892012-07-31T20:09:39.572-04:002012-07-31T20:09:39.572-04:00Another home run, D!
