Description

Report of the Philadelphia City Controller asserting that changes in state law are required to lessen the financial impact the growing number of charter schools have on the Philadelphia School District (SDP) and taxpayers. The report demonstrates that the current fiscal relationship between the SDPäó»s Traditional Public Schools and Charter Schools is neither mutually beneficial nor sustainable. Because of the manner in which Charter Schools are funded, the two systems are financially symbiotic. The SDP has discretion over its own funds, which in times of scarcity equates to discretion over what to cut, but almost none over the flow of funds to the Charter Schools. This report provides ample evidence to demonstrate the urgent need for concerted state legislative action sooner rather than later. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
