STATEMENT FROM CHRISTIN WHITE-KAISER, PARENT OF A TYPE 2 PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL STUDENT:
“Today’s supreme court ruling was the right one, affirming the rights of parents to choose the educational option that works for their children. This lawsuit from the union bosses was always about money and never about what was in the best interest of students. As parents, we are grateful that the Supreme Court recognized these public schools for what they are – public schools, and that we will continue to be trusted with our children’s education decisions.”
