Charters Schools need help

The public charter schools in Austin are in quite a predicament. Since the schools are not funded by the state, they are having problems financially. The schools are having to stretch less money farther to make sure rent is paid for the building the school is in and have the proper materials needed for teaching the students. The public charter schools get money for the students attendance but far less then a regular public school would. The regular public schools get $1,000 dollars per student that attends. Since charter schools are a lot smaller and the student population is also a lot smaller they get less money.
The State Board of Education should help the public charter schools out and give them part of the $22 billion Permanent School Fund. It wouldn’t being investing in all public charter schools. Only 215 of them have earned investment-grade bond ratings to borrow money at lower interest rates to construct classrooms and other buildings. With the help of the Permanent School fund charter schools would be able get better classrooms and get more supplies for the students. They won’t have to stretch the little money they have so far. Public charter schools are just important as regular public schools and other schools in Texas. Yet in a way, it is a risky investment because they don’t get as much return for the Board investing in the schools. The Board should make the risky investment and help out the schools in need of their help.
