Bob Schaffer on Charter Schools and Leadership Program of the Rockies

August 20, 2024

Bob Schaffer is Chairman of the Leadership Program of the Rockies, a former Republican Congressman from Colorado's 4th Congressional District who honored his pledge to self-term limit to 3 terms, and now has the best job of his life as Headmaster of the Liberty Common Charter School (K-12) in Fort Collins.

Recent string of charter school studies is interesting – the notion that charters are not monolithic could be the point standing in contrast to the reality that nearly all government-owned schools in Colorado (maybe America) are becoming monolithic if they aren’t there already.  Capitalism and markets applied to public schools seems to correspond – albeit generally – to higher quality. Other than Milton Friedman, who’d have guessed?
