.... The issue is that charter schools do not receive even a penny for facility improvements while public schools receive around a $1,000 a year per student for facilities.....

I don't know where your getting your statistics from... I'll address the rest of your post tomorrow.

I think you have information that is incorrect.

Can you post any URL links to anything to back up anything that you are saying?

"Part of the problem was that (charter schools) were not aware of all the changes in the law," Higa said. She said one of the changes set a cap on the amount charter schools would receive............Charter schools have received a little more than two-thirds of their funding for this year, at $2,000 for each child enrolled. They are due about another $900 per pupil.
The allocation to other public schools is based on the per-pupil cost of about $6,000, but BOE officials say that is deceiving because funding for some items are deducted from that figure and the money transferred to other departments that manage those costs."

I'll start with this.
