Wondered that myself. But I suspect the law won't apply to them.
I found this. It's older than the blazes BUT:
Pertains to vouchers and chartersBut for all their promise, and despite the fact that they are theoretically accountable to a local district or to the state, a growing number of charters have become indistinguishable from private or even quasi-religious schools that offer Bible reading, give equal time to creationism, and, in some cases, are staffed by people who have only the most perfunctory training. In Fremont, California, an Islamic charter school, which gets full state funding, offers its 74 students a morning of academic training each day that's provided largely by parents under the supervision of a "facilitator"; in the afternoon, students attend the Annoor Islamic Institute in the same classrooms. In Michigan, according to The Wall Street Journal, National Heritage Academies, sponsored by entrepreneur J.C. Huizenga but tax funded as public charters, tilt so heavily toward evangelical Christianity that they are drawing scores of students away from private religious schools. Elsewhere county school districts have awarded charters, and the tax money that comes with them, to Internet distance-learning "schools," whose students, most of them home schoolers, can be hundreds of miles away, and where no one is quite sure where all the money goes. The charters have also provided a major opening for the Edison Project and other for-profit education companies, which now operate about 10 percent of the nation's charter schools.
Something else from the above paragraph. Someone complained that some charters are as religious as parochial schools.
I realize that parents might opt for charter schooling to get out of failing schools, BUT, a lot go to charter schools precisely to get away from the crap that Arnold is letting into our public schools.
Taxpayers should have the ability to get away from that type of crud.
