This morning at the national charter schools conference in Washington DC, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan was asked about the situation in Rhode Island. He responded, in front of a room of thousands of people and national media:
Places like Rhode Island that are thinking about under-funding charters are obviously going to put themselves at a huge competitive disadvantage going forward. So we don’t think that’s a smart thing for them to do, and we’re going to make that very, very clear.” (APPLAUSE)
