Apostle..Public Schools Beat Charter Schools

In our continuing conversation with Dr. Alex Apostle, Superintendent of Missoula School District One, he acknowledges the nationwide movement toward charter schools, but still believes that public schools offer the greatest benefit to students. Apostle says a well-run public school simply offers more than a narrowly focused charter school..

Apostle says public schools are more realistic in their approach to helping students face life in the modern world. A bill currently before the legislature endorses the creation of charter schools in the state.
