“This amendment will force States to reserve more funds for review of public and private charter school funding. The underlying bill, Mr. Chairman, includes audits as an important aspect of quality authorizing measures. In addition, States already require multiple audits of their charter schools. This amendment will take money away from the quality authorizing set-aside, where funds will otherwise be used to support measures to open and run schools with effective operations practices in addition to high-quality academics. Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment.”
