History Repeats Itself

By way of Edspresso, I see that Pittsburgh is dealing with the same issue that St. Louis did not long ago: Its public school district won’t sell a building to a charter school.

I’m optimistic that this will turn out well for Pittsburgh charters. Districts can dig in their heels and try to hold on to real estate, but when enough people prefer charters, political pressure will force districts to give up the empty buildings.
