Mack Reed a Green Dot fan

Interesting post from Mack at L.A. Voice about the Green Dot charter school program in LAUSD, and how the founder of the movement, Steve Barr is seeking a meeting with the admiral, aka incoming superintendent David Brewer:

... to hear Barr tell it, they're able to educate kids in classes of 25 instead of 40 students, pay teachers $47,000 a year instead of $40,000 (they had 800 applicants for 80 job openings recently!). Because they're not supporting a huge bureaucracy that includes 35,000 LAUSD employees who don't even work at schools.
