“I’m concerned that our Legislature is succumbing to the mega-Wall Street charter school operations that are certainly not local and are far removed from the public.” — Dan Boyd, superintendent of the Alachua County school system, to the Gainesville Sun, on his fears that a Florida law encouraging the expansion of high-performing charter schools will attract profit-making academies to his district.
“We’re not from Wall Street, we’re from Fort Lauderdale.” — Jon Hage, the president and CEO of Charter Schools USA, in the same Gainesville Sun story.
