Although she took important steps towards achieving that goal, her most important lesson
occurred while she was enrolled as a high
school senior
at Paragon Academy, a K - 12
public charter school in Chandler.
It seems to me that consistently front - loading a
charter school's enrollment only to see it shrink over the course of the year, thereby back - loading enrollment
at public schools, could also allow fiscal shenanigans wherein, if less money is spent on students on average
at the beginning of the year (say, no building heating costs or payments for
school trips or assessments that
occur later on in the year), then the
charter school can effect a profit on students who later in the year transfer out of the
school.
