Wacky cultists don't start public charter schools, they hole themselves up somewhere with food and ammo. N ational Charter Schools Week has come and gone with little fanfare.

Wacky cultists don't start public charter schools, they hole themselves up somewhere with food and ammo. Opening a charter school depends on a solid plan that must be approved by township school board. Then, charter schools must deliver.
