Columbus (Ohio) district still struggling to embrace charter schools

Dec. 21, 2010
Critics say district's us-versus-them mentality inhibits progress

From The Columbus Dispatch: In the Columbus (Ohio) district, it's not an all-out war against charters But 13 years after charter schools came to Ohio and five years after the Columbus district announced that it would dabble in the charter-school business, it isn't a truce, either. Critics say the district's us-versus-them mentality has become even more glaring as other large, urban districts in the country have embraced charter schools.
