Washington Sued For Legalizing Charter Schools
No choice for you!
A coalition of parents, educators and community groups filed a lawsuit in King County Superior Court on Wednesday challenging the constitutionality of Washington's new charter schools law.
The complaint filed Wednesday argues the new law violates the state Constitution by diverting public school dollars to private organizations that are not subject to voter control. And it contends the charter schools law gets in the way of the state's constitutional obligation to pay for public schools.
