I guess it's a microcosm of what we're going to see nationally next yet. The end of public schooling.

And, of course, the vouchers they already offer parents makes this a feedback loop.

Right before some of those charter schools fail and kids have nowhere to go. In the article the IPS director mentioned that end up taking kids after a charter school closes.

Also, charter schools don't have to take disabled kids if they don't want to.
