Quote Coastal; "That they(charter schools)didn't want to be associated with the public school system, and that includes funding."

Wrong
The Public Charter Schools DO operate on State funding; just less of it. They are part of the public school system, but get less per student; and have to pay for their own facilities and infrastructure. In other words, they do more with less, and are thriving in spite of this.
The autonomy that Public Charter Schools desire isn't funding, but freedom from the top heavy DOE bureaucracy that infests our inefficient state school system.
The DOE refuses to support the Charter Schools because their autonomy threatens Oahu's centralized, inefficient, top heavy control.
This is a political ploy by Neil to get votes.
