We need to make sure they say no! Charter schools are privately-run school that suck money out of our public education system. They contribute to the re-segregation of our kids' schools, they are notorious for corruption, they do little to help and often harm kids' education and they attack our educators and school staff by aggressively undermining their right to join together in a union. One of the applications is from a group previously rejected in DC that wants to found a "business-focused middle school that would be in the Takoma Park/Silver Spring area." You can make a difference! Send a message to Montgomery County School Board. Tell them to reject this attack on our public education system. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/say-no-to-charter-schools-in-montgomery-county
