‘It’s Not My Problem!’ Why Charter Schools and Districts Need to Work Together on the Politics of School Closure

http://educationnext.org/not-problem-charter-schools-districts-need-work-together-politics-school-closure/

District budgets are badly strained when many of their schools are under-enrolled. This is one of the biggest reasons that districts with growing charter enrollment hit financial hurdles. Meanwhile, charter schools can’t expand without access to facilities, and in a growing number of cities, suitable facilities are in very short supply. Understandably, charter leaders bristle when they are blamed for budget woes that may be easily solved by consolidating under-enrolled schools. And understandably, district leaders think they wouldn’t have the under-enrollment problem if charter schools weren’t pulling away students.
