This week, we saw the story of a charter school in North Carolina that, having been ordered to shut down, reimagined itself as a private school. Expect to see versions of this story over and over again. Charter schools mostly require some sort of authorizer to sign off on their ability to function, and those authorizers are backstopped by the state. Meaning that even in a state like North Carolina, a charter school can be a big enough mess to get itself shut down.
Succinct; accurate.
