Charter Free

Charter school advocates in Arizona are arguing in court that the state’s charters are exempt "from all statutes and rules relating to schools, governing boards and school districts'' except for, um, all the statutes and rules relating to schools, governing boards and school districts that apply to charters.

The Attorney General’s office counters that the state board can "adopt any rules and policies it deems necessary,” even those governing charter schools. Or in this case, especially charter schools.
