   When I vote for a Delaware City School levy I expect those funds should be spent to edu­cate stu­dents in the pub­lic schools. Any­one who wants or wishes to have their child or chil­dren edu­cated in a pri­vate school should pay for that out their own money. Char­ter Schools are in essence pri­vate schools and they are not really account­able to the tax payer not mat­ter how you try to argue or prove it.

     You are so cor­rect when you write; “no mat¬ter how you try to argue or prove it” so let me EDUCATE!
     • Ohio has no Char­ter Schools, by Ohio Law there are two types of state schools, Tra­di­tional Schools (TS) and Com­mu­nity Schools (CS)
     • TS are gov­erned by elected board there­fore TS may request a tax levy and receive funds in addi­tion to the State Foun­da­tion per pupil fund­ing
     • CS are gov­erned by appointed board there­fore CS only receive State Foun­da­tion per pupil fund­ing
     • Another huge dif­fer­ence CS must pro­vide and pay all facil­i­ties costs; TS receive addi­tional state build­ing funds and/or bond monies to pay for their facil­i­ties
     • CS stu­dents must meet all state edu­ca­tion test and stan­dards; one of which is CS can­not charge any type of Fees
