I’ve been asked to compare public charter school funding in Texas to independent school district funding.
I found this on the txcharterschools.org web site:

City of El Paso debt=$2,670,400,000, county and school district debt=$1,600,000,000. Total $4.27 billion. Your share $19,350

So much wrong with that graphic. Forst off, consider the source: TXCHARTERSCHOOLS.ORG? I am sure that they are not biased.
Let’s just start with the fact that Charter Schools funding sources include private, non regulated funds. They left that off. Let’s add the part that the more charter students are added, the less funds flow to ISDs.

Charter schools do not have to accept special education students. They do not have to have certified teachers. Tax money collected for public education should stay with public education. You do not pay taxes to educate your children you pay for public education. If you do not like public education and CHOOSE to take you child someplace else then you should have to pay for it. If you did not feel protected from crime would it be ok if you went to the city and asked for money from the police fund to hire a private guard? They would laugh at you and that is what should be done to charter schools. When the bottom line is George Washington instead of children the children will pay the price.

Charter schools can kick kids out for having bad grades, bad behavior, being special ed, etc. They’re just secular private schools being given taxpayer money they don’t deserve.
