Bill Would Pay For Charter Schools With Lottery Money

(Olympia, WA)  --  A bill approved by the Washington State Senate would enable charter schools to operate with money from the state lottery.  The bill is in response to a Washington Supreme Court ruling which declared that charter schools weren't "common schools" and were ineligible for money from the state's general fund.  The Senate voted yesterday to designate charter schools as "uncommon schools" and fund them with lottery revenue.  The measure now goes to the House for consideration.
