Tavenner raises some very good questions. I'd particularly like to hear a charter school opponent address the fact that Summit spends $2,600 less per student than the district.

But it seems to me the district is saving money by having students it would have spent $9,400 on enroll in a more cost-effective program. The argument doesn't seem to hold water next to the cost comparison.
