DiNapoli v. Kipp

Submitted by Paul A d'Oronzio, Dec 13, 2007 17:01

You conveniently overlook or downplay the fact that KIPP, like all charter schools, is receiving and using tax dollars. I enthusiatically applaud DiNapoli for auditing their use and ensuring that they are not used for boondoggles. "Bonding experiences" can be very useful for productivity, but I see no reason why this experience can not be held at Van Cortlandt Park. At least the tax dollars would be spent in the U. S.
