Funding is even less this year
by: Anonymous

Aloha David,

Your charter school funding article states that they will be receiving about $7,000 per student. Apparently that has been reduced to about $5,600 (and charter schools are still waiting on a final budget due to the governors cuts). Teachers pay may be cut about $6,000 per year or more with additional insurance payment, since the governor can't mandate that teachers take furloughs.
Although Charter Schools should be receiving facility monies - but with the budget cuts how will that all pan out! I wouldn't be surprised if it needed to go to student funding instead.

Just another concerned charter school parent.
