Anyone receiving tax dollars to provide services such as education or corrections should be required to be absolutely transparent about how that money is spent
Greg Lambert, an NHA representative, spelled out the company’s position to the board of the Detroit Enterprise Academy in 2010 when several members were demanding more transparency.
“Mr. Lambert stated that the public dollars became private when they were received by NHA. He further indicated that because NHA is a private company, the information need not be disclosed.”
Greg Lambert is wrong and so is former Michigan governor John Engler especially when you consider that charter schools are not delivering appreciably better results than traditional public schools.?
Two regional stories could have national implications for the education reform movement
