Ohio think tank: charter schools save us money

Kentucky's House Education Committee has killed every effort to open up charter schools in Kentucky.

Ohio, meanwhile, has charter schools and has found that teachers union efforts to close them would require taxes to go up or spending per student to go down because charter schools are more efficient with their money than the regular public schools are.

Kentucky probably will have a charter school bill in the 2009 General Assembly. Let's hope the legislature pays attention to Ohio's findings.
