Sounds like the federal Dept. of Education needs to be investigated, or at least some of its offices, like Innovation and Improvement, which is clearly stacking the deck against public schools and against taxpayers.

Someone needs to ask John King that question.
Thanks for this great investigative reporting! We in public education appreciate it more than you know.
