Charter schools are tremendously popular among inner city black people in places like Cleveland, their public schools are garbage and it would be near impossible for them to be worse. The primary reason people are anti charter schools is because it hurts teachers unions.
Im not going to excuse that, and was just trying to provide context as to why someone would support these things.
This also said Cleveland politics are fucked, the city is in insane debt with property taxes among the highest in the country in terms of percentage of assessed value. That means anything that requires new funding absolutely will lead to tons of people being evicted from their home. I don't know about this contract in particular, but there are a lot of things in the city that are desperate for more money that don't get it for the above reason.
I teach at a public charter school. We're unionized. We have a lot of staff input in how stuff gets run, and we work our asses off trying to help our minority and Title 1 kids. It's a lottery entry, and we strive to make our lottery known in local poor and foreign language communities. So... yeah, for whatever that's worth, I'm trying to make the best of it. The privilege gap grows with covid though.

She tried to tear up the teachers contract and extort them into signing a new one.
That's fucking disgusting and there is no excuse for it.
