I for one am VERY happy about this. Unfortunately those parents and children who do NOT have the money and the clout behind them will lose their neighborhood schools and be herded into corporate charter schools IF they would have them. They will also be "counseled out" and have decreasing choices for their education if charters do not keep them. The attrition rate for African-American students, particularly males, is quite high for corporate charter franchises.
Segregated, (mainly charter schools), have increased at a rate not seen since BEFORE the Civil Rights Movement. The remaining public schools are rundown, neglected from the siphoning of public funds to corporate charters. Thankfully, Parochial School children have averted this fate because the right people support them. I just wish it could be so for public school poor children of color.

I was with Fr Marrone Wed nite; he was anxious for an answer. His hard work and that of many others has been rewarded, but the stewardship will have to be continuous.
