Another Proposed Madison School District Charter Policy

Dylan Pauly, Legal Counsel Steve Hartley, Chief of Staff, Madison School District via a kind reader's email (700K PDF):

- removes the ability of an individual board member to initiate a charter proposal - must be initiated by the board instead (superintendent can also initiate)

- $6,500 per pupil funding formula, with reductions in district funding after the 3rd or 4th year (unclear) of between 10-20% based on private fundraising.

Madison will spend about $15k/student during the 2012-2013 school year.

Madison Mayor Paul Soglin: "We are not interested in the development of new charter schools". More, here.
