before the Senate Education Committee on April 10, Rep. Matt Wingard
(R-Wilsonville) expressed his opposition to SB 767- a bill being pushed by
special interests to shutdown large online charter schools. The bill would
also prevent elementary-aged children from attending the schools. In the
clip, Rep. Wingard said on-line charter schools are non-profit organizations
that are bound to performance and accountability measures that are mostly
absent in the state’s public schools. |
