Since the financial operation of this school district-funded enterprise is hidden from public view, the amount of tax money that is converted to profits is a secret. My resident school district had a deduction of $3,702,897.67 for Imagine Schools, Inc. last school year. As a taxpayer and supporter of my school district, board of education, administration and district employees, I object to a portion of the school district tax money being taken from my school district and handed to entities that have little or no transparency or accountability. I, along with other school district residents, have no access to the unaccountable financial operation of Imagine Schools, Inc. School districts finances, on the other hand, are available to citizens. The Ohio Department of Education deducted $15,570,134.09 from my resident school district for students going to charter schools. These funds went to 66 charter schools, most of which had a lower state report card rating than the district. State officials should eliminate the for-profit companies from the Ohio charter school industry. William Phillis
