    Robin,

    Thanks for the link to Charlie Pierce’s Esquire blog post about Charter Schools. Charlie is from my state of Massachusetts. Here is some interesting news about what is going on in Massachusetts:

    Paul Sagan, head of Massachusetts education board, donates $100K to pro-charter group
    http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2016/09/paul_sagan_head_of_massachuset.html

    Excerpt:
    The chairman of the Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education has made a six-figure donation to a group advocating for more charter schools in the state.

    Paul Sagan donated $100,000 last month to the Campaign for Fair Access to Quality Public Schools, an organization in support of ballot Question 2. A yes vote on the ballot will allow a dozen more charters per year in Massachusetts. The donation appeared in filing with the Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance this month.
