re: Bentonville/Rogers private schools growing like crazy

Called what? It's no secret. The WFF gives 250k to just about any charter school that wants to start in the State and funds the APSRC which is has assisting charters as a large part of their mission. They've worked extensively with Haas, Bentoville Classical, and all the out of district charters across the state.

What's more interesting (but unsurprising) is the friendliness of the new Bentonville supe toward the new private school and other charters.

The Fayetteville Classical Academy (which was actually going to be in Farmington) had their charter denied yesterday by the ADE. The educational ecosystem of this entire country is experiencing a significant disruption. Charters are just a symptom.
