Carol Burris – Network for Public Education, 2024
Studies of charter closure rates typically focus on year-to-year closures.

Cunningham, Maurice T. – Network for Public Education, 2023
They show up shouting at school board meetings with endless complaints. The press interviews them as though they are "regular moms" looking out for their children, but they are not.
