Per an email from Carissa Goodwin the notes below are incorrect.  I obtained the notes from the KIPP Delta Website under Board Meeting Minutes and were directly downloaded from their site.  I printed a copy and compared what is posted on their website today and what was posted on WTF Helena and cannot find any differences.  I have requested a copy of the corrected minutes in which I would gladly post.  Thank you.

Great simple explanation of the problem with Walton-style education philanthropy---

In her most recent book, education historian Diane Ravitch, Assistant Secretary of Education under President George H.W. Bush and a former supporter of charters and vouchers, clearly articulates the problem with Walton-style education philanthropy:

These foundations, no matter how worthy and high-minded, are after all, not public agencies. They are not subject to public oversight or review, as a public agency would be. They have taken it upon themselves to reform public education, perhaps in ways that would never survive the scrutiny of voters in any district or state. If voters don’t like the foundations’ reform agenda, they can’t vote them out of office. The foundations demand that public schools and teachers be held accountable for performance, but they themselves are accountable to no one. If their plans fail, no sanctions are levied against them. They are bastions of unaccountable power.
