One of the many big questions facing this country is how we are going to improve our educational system. Charter schools may not be the solution, but they seem to be here to stay. There is need for more transparency, accountability and simplicity from our charter schools in order to eliminate not just the underperforming, but the systematically corrupt.
   The charter school debate was one of the primary issues addressed at the “We Rise” rally held Wednesday, March 11 in front of the Ohio Statehouse, sponsored by ProgressOhio and Common Good Ohio.
   The key issue at the rally was the need for greater transparency, accountability and simplicity in every facet of government, especially education, to ensure that “We Rise” in ensuring student success.
