5 years. 50% close by year 15 and 37% get millions in start up money but never open. When charters close or never open, the owners keep the money. These are your school tax dollars. #TBATs gadflyonthewallblog.com/2023/03/22/i-a… @SoCarolinaBATs @NoCarolinaBATs @ArkansasBATsA @LouisianaBATs

Ohio Voters elected 3 candidates to Ohio State Bd of Ed on Tues who fought back against the efforts to control how racism is discussed in schools & the anti-LGBTQ agenda - and won. #TBATs networkforpubliceducation.org/blog-content/l… .@BadassTeachersA .@OhioBATs

#TBATs This can't be said enough! Being "Proficient" on the NAEP test means "above average." Also, it's independent of state standards, so material might be totally different than what has been taught. The PUBLIC needs to know. b/c public schools are being beat up over scores.

There's a lot of dark money out there buying ads and telling lies, ignore them. Get out and VOTE! #TBATs #VoteBlueIn2022 #VoteBlueForDemocracy #Vote4PublicSchools #VoteForWomensRights #VoteForGunSafety #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

We've spent more than a decade locking down our schools, hardening them, forcing our kids thru traumatizing Active Shooter Drills & for what? School massacres are increasing. There are better solutions. #SensibleGunLaws #TBATs @VermontBATs @NHampshireBATs @BATs_DC @BATsDelaware

Charter Schools need to have the same transparency rules as regular public schools. They shouldn't be able to call themselves a "school" when they take the money, but call themselves a "business" when they hide it. #TBATs @VermontBATs @NHampshireBATs @MaineBATs @ctbadassteacher
