Ohio Auditor investigates Charter sponsors for first time ever

Whenever I have discussions with people about Ohio and its challenges, I always point out that no Ohio State Auditor has ever investigated charter school sponsors.

That's why I'm stunned and relieved that Auditor Dave Yost is looking into a couple of sponsors, as reported in the Columbus Dispatch here: http://cdn.localwireless.com/wap/news/text.jsp?sid=1003&nid=3596372406&cid=20843. Now this isn't going after an operator like David Brennan, but this is a huge first step to changing the dialogue in Ohio to one of quality education for all kids.

This is an important day for Ohio's kids.
