A small Idaho town is saving its only school by converting it into a charter school with a hands-on, discovery-based model. Enrollment has already doubled ahead of opening—an inspiring example of community-driven education reform. eastidahonews.com/2025/07/instea…

Pleased that Mike O'Connor (Michael O'Connor) has been chosen by Mayor Joe Hogsett as the project manager for the Indianapolis Local Education Alliance. Mike is a friend and respected public servant. Crucially, he has extensive experience working with both IPS and charter schools.

Nearly everyone has given up on urban K-12 reform. Politicians no longer talk about it. There's but one city, Houston, attempting wholesale reform and early results are incredibly promising. Cities from across the US are starting to pay attention. In 2023, after years of falling

Not only did Girls IN STEM Academy persevere to ensure they had a home at the former Witherspoon Presbyterian Church, but that perseverance led to a change in state law so that zoning can never again be used as a weapon to stop a school from opening. mirrorindy.org/girls-in-stem-…

ā€œMany of the district’s magnets were ā€˜magnet’ in name only. Several magnet schools were receiving as much as $3 million in extra local funding but didn’t serve a single student outside their attendance zone. Some were quasi-private schools.ā€ thefp.com/p/three-bigges…

I played against LeBron James at the national AAU tournament in Salt Lake City when we were in grade school. We were down 20 at halftime. They pulled their starters and we lost by 19. We won the second half. šŸ˜‚

Nobody You Know Public charter schools, by law, cannot be ā€œfor profit.ā€ That is disinformation being spread by those who stand to benefit from the status quo. I’m also unaware of any district being forced to make drastic cuts that has not lost a significant population of students. The dollars
