WaPo has its report on this behind its paywall, so I’ll summarize it thusly.

The NAACP thinks charter schools can be great, but they are no substitute for well-funded, quality public schools.

“while high quality, accountable and accessible charters can contribute to educational opportunity, by themselves, even the best charters are not a substitute for more stable, adequate and equitable investments in public education in the communities that serve our children.”

IOW, the NAACP’s task force learned what a lot of we educators have been saying for years: charter schools are not a solution to poor performing public schools. They only divert resources away from public education. There are some very good charters, such as the KiPP schools, but most are no better than regular public schools in terms of student performance on standardized exams. Their main success is in segregating public schools, which is no doubt why Betsy DeVos thinks they are hot shit.
