Taxpayers lost $100M to charter school fraud and waste
Taxpayers lost $100M to charter school fraud and waste
The Center for Popular Democracy and Integrity in Education teamed up in May to release a study detailing ways in which charter schools are susceptible to waste, fraud, and mismanagement "totaling over $100 million in losses to taxpayers." The report zeroed in on six different types of abuses of power and waste within charters, giving specific examples from 15 of the 42 states with schools used in their study. While the report gave detailed accounts of how money has been mismanaged, it also conceded that the lack of transparency and accountability means “the fraud and mismanagement that has been uncovered thus far might be just the tip of the iceberg.” The most prevalent type of mismanagement uncovered? The use of public funds for personal gain by charter operators.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
