Reply #174: They outsource EVERYTHING.

i.e. the school is effectively a for-profit school.

and as i've never made the claim that any school in detroit is authorized as a for-profit charter, but have made the claim that 75% of the charters is michigan (&likely a similar % in detroit) are MANAGED BY FOR-PROFIT COMPANIES

I'm not sure what you're "waiting" for.

The "non-profit" authorizing process is a dodge, so that while all functions of schools are being turned over to profit-making entities, people like yourself can scream "But it's a NON-PROFIT!" to cut off any criticism of the on-going privatization process.

The putative "school" doesn't own its facilities, its curriculum, its personnel or personnel policies. So just what is this "non-profit school"?

The "non-profit" exists only as a vehicle to receive public funds & turn them over to private corporations.
