I believe, Oldprof, that City Day is the oldest charter school in the area; they have been in existence since charters were first allowed in Dayton. I know this school has been in operation longer than the four years you stated. The school has had many problems, including few children ever showing success on standardized tests. There was also some question regarding financial issues several years ago. This is the first time, to my knowledge, that anyone in the state has actually stated that there should be some kind of consequence for this particular school. It is to be hoped that this testing incident will yield much more diligent scrutiny of all charter schools.By Oldprof

This school has been operating now for four years and this is the first time they’re suspected of wrongdoing. Is that because they have been breaking rules all along and gotten away with it—since we know of several charters so far that were closed or reprimanded for not conforming to even their minimal requirements? Or have school officials now become desperate for survival and so have resorted to dishonesty? Either way, this news ought to inspire the charter-school proponents to pull the emergency stop rope, assess the situation. Realize that unregulated, unaccountable schools and bifurcated regulatory/funding processes are NOT a good way to improve K-12 education.
