Charter school transparency

Editorial by Fayetteville Observer, June 19, 2014.

Eddie Goodall, executive director of the N.C. Public Charter Schools Association, voiced displeasure at a legislative measure the Senate unanimously approved this week to require charter schools to maintain open records and open meetings, just like all traditional public school bodies.

Goodall said charter schools are like small businesses and can't afford the sort of discord that public records will generate. A former state senator from Union County and a certified public accountant by training, he ought to know better.
